Summary
Ten months before I ran out as captain, a surgeon told me I might not walk properly again. That moment in the tunnel taught me more about performance under pressure than 18 years of elite sport and business consulting combined. And in this video, I break down exactly what it exposed. Most high-performing executives are not failing because of strategy. They are failing because they have stripped three critical drivers out of their process without realising it. Recovery strategy. Deliberate practice. Identity. I cover what each one actually means at elite level, why the more, more, more approach is not building you but eroding you, and how the Built For Pressure Executive Performance Pathway addresses all three across four phases: Stabilise, Expand, Optimise, Govern. If you are an executive, CEO, or business owner who knows there is more in the locker but cannot work out why you are not accessing it, this is where to start.
