Listen "Burn the Boats: Commitment and Trust for Peak Performance"
Episode Synopsis
Throughout the ages, there are a number of myths that invoke this image. A commander and their army step onto foreign soil, and knowing that they are outmatched by the enemy, the commander makes a daring choice. The army is ordered to burn their boats, leaving only two choices: victory or death.Today's short episode examines the relationship between commitment and trust and how they're critical for our capacity to perform our best when it matters most. As always, there's also a quick discussion of how to train these qualities so you can have access to them consistently!- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Learn more about The Mental Training LabConnect with Pete on Instagram | LinkedIn | WebsiteSubscribe to the podcast on Apple | Spotify This show is produced and edited by the team at Palm Tree Pod Co.
