Ever wonder why some people excel under pressure while others crumble?

The secret lies in what happens before the spotlight hits.

In the book High Performance Damian Hughes says:

That's a phrase I've adopted. I often say it to my clients, especially when they're preparing for an important meeting. It makes them think differently.

Especially when they are resisting the extra effort and time practice takes.

But the results are worthwhile.

To quote a client this week

If you want elite performance, you have to put in the groundwork. You can't just wing it. You need to go all in.
