Why Leaders Need the Athlete’s Mindset for Long-Term Success #shorts

One of the paradigm shifts that I'm asking people to consider and the question I ask when I do workshops and keynotes, well, it's to all three components, body, mind and soul. But particularly in the body around resting. Recovery is, what if we started thinking, feeling and acting more like elite athletes that have mastered longevity in their respective sports? So if you study LeBron James, if you study Novak Djokovic, if you study Derrick Torres and Allison Felix, they had these 20 year careers. Look at their habits and what they did. They're sleeping eight to ten hours a night, they're meditating, they're eating great, they're stretching. They're paying so much money for their bodies, getting the trainers they need. Now, we don't use our bodies the way elite athletes do, but individuals and teams expend a tremendous amount of energy every day to perform at the highest level possible. The paradigm shift is you have to wake up and say, I'm Novak Djokovic, I'm LeBron James. I've got to take care of the whole self. Otherwise the foundation will break at some point.
