From the first chapter it has been surprising how good the book actually is and how much content is in the book, all nice and clear, and it's not just repetition of what you can find elsewhere.

In 2009, he fronted the BBC’s highly successful and award-winning F1 coverage where he remained for 4 years.

Yes there were overlaps and the book certainly went into detail from previous audio guests but I love the way the book not only produced different techniques for readers to explore but theories from other sources. High performance is never just about one aspect, whether it be natural talent, luck, timing or hard work. It is such a complicated industry to work in, with many varied opinions and different leaders, but many friends.

It will help every reader apply these insights to their own lives - so they can become high performers themselves. Drawing on interviews with: Robin Van Persie | Tom Daley | Osi Umenyiora | Eddie Jones | Siya Kolisi | Dilbagh Gill | Ole Gunner Solskjaer | Matthew McConaughey | Lily Cole | Rio Ferdinand | Steven Gerrard | Jo Malone | Sir Chris Hoy | Kelly Jones | Frank Lampard | Ant Middleton | Phil Neville | Ben Ainslie | Kelly Holmes | Nims Purja | Mauricio Pochettino | Jonny Wilkinson | Clive Woodward | and many more . As of the time I am writing this review (March 20th 2023), they have released 182 episodes of the podcast that are around an hour long each, with around the same amount of mini talks that are between 7 – 15 minutes. I don't really enjoy self help books but if you're into that sort of thing and enjoy sports anecdotes this is for you. Above all, Jake and Damian reveal how to build the principles of high performance into our own lives, whether on the pitch, in our careers, or at home.This book might be more targeted for men since most of the examples are about football/soccer and rugby. This books gives very detailed lessons in ways and which you can high preform in all aspects of your life. On reflection I think I’d have got more out of using the time I spent reading this book (which was maybe four hours at most- it’s 200ish pages in quite large, widely spaced font) re-listening to my favourites episodes of the podcast. This book will appeal to you if you’re interested in how your brain works , or how to perform better, but you’ve never yet considered reading any books about the subject. This is a must read for anyone, be it someone who is into sport and fitness, what’s to become a actor or actress, a business owner or entrepreneur, a teacher or someone who just wants to be a better parent.

From taking responsibility for your situation to finding your 'Trademark Behaviours', it reveals how the world's highest-achieving people unlocked their potential - and how you can too. Dina Asher-Smith | Steven Bartlett | Tom Daley | Steven Gerrard | Evelyn Glennie | Ole Gunnar Solskjær | Kelly Holmes | Chris Hoy | Eddie Jones | Siya Kolisi | Frank Lampard | Jo Malone | Matthew McConaughey | Ant Middleton | Tracey Neville | Robin Van Persie | Mauricio Pochettino | Gareth Southgate | Holly Tucker | Jonny Wilkinson | Clive Woodward | Toto Wolff and many more. This book uncovers the eight essential habits of the world's leading sportspeople, coaches and entrepreneurs.High Performance has already impacted some of the best players and coaches across the world, but Jake and Damian's insights are equally valuable to people from any walk of life. I've recommended this book to all my friends and family and I would absolutely recommend anybody read this. I enjoyed the tone of this book and the way that each chapter was a standalone lesson so you can easily pick the book up after time away and not need to 'follow' what was previously discussed. The book is full of amazing coaching guidance and inspiring stories as means to better yourself in what ever circumstances that you are in, e.
