The key to unlocking your potential isn't in training harder or doing more sophisticated workouts. It's in thinking better about your training.
Think better, train better.
Make the Leap provides athletes and coaches a step-by-step guide to thinking more effectively about all aspects of training. Chapter One explains exactly what a Leap Cycle is and why some athletes make a leap while others don't. It then systematically breaks down--via 11 Optimal Training Principles and 4 mental model spotlights--the attitudes and behaviors that the top performers use to think better about their training.
Some of the key concepts in the book include:
- Why leaps happen (and how to generate one)
- The Build - Leap - Sustain "Leap Cycle" of improvement
- The Momentum Model and identifying what is holding you back
- The importance of attitude and mindset
- Engagement and revealing the Hidden Training Program
- Systems vs Purposeful Practice and when to use them
- North Star goals vs Next Step goals
- Using Next Level 80/20 thinking to prioritize your training
- Understanding Risk and Reward in performances
- And more!
