This audiobook contains an exclusive Q&A with Jake and Damian, answering questions posed by listeners of the High PerformancePodcast.

How do Olympic medal-winning athletes turbo-charge their motivation?

How do multi-millionaire founders develop the habits of champions?

And how do Premier League football coaches lead their teams to victory?

High Performance reveals the methods the world's most remarkable athletes, coaches and entrepreneurs use to excel.

From taking responsibility for your situation to finding your 'trademark behaviours', thinking flexibly to crafting a high performance culture, Jake Humphrey and Professor Damian Hughes identify the eight crucial steps to becoming the best 'you' possible.

Along the way, they draw on cutting-edge research to explain why these methods work - and how we can all use them. Anyone can learn the secrets of high performance.

Drawing on conversations with: Dina Asher-Smith, Steven Bartlett, Tom Daley, Steven Gerrard, Evelyn Glennie, 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....

Best book I've read in 10 years

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 December 2021

As someone who reads about 50-60 books a year, mostly on success, autobiographies, psychology, business and mindset (I'm boring, an accountant, a CFO actually with 50 investment properties so think it's working). Being too much of a geek to be in to sports so hadn't ever heard of Jake Humphrey and wasn't interested in the book until seeing Adam Peaty had a testimonial on the cover. As a former swimmer he is someone I do respect.

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. Perhaps some is, but you'd need to read about 50 great books to get what is nicely distilled in this one amazing volume.

The audiobook is particularly great, like listening to a conversation. It's easier to remain engaged if you listen while running or washing up.

This book is high performance itself

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 December 2021

I’m a 15 year old girl and have listened to most of the HP podcasts. Damian and Jake have accompanied me through long runs in the cold, painful sessions in the gym, and endless car journeys. I was so excited to see the book come out as I knew I would love it, and I really have loved it. I was captivated from the start all the messages I have taken from the book I am sure I will use for the rest of my life.

As Jake said, ‘To unlock your potential, you don’t need to be a born leader. You just need to be ready to try, fail, and try again,’

Thank you Damian and Jake for helping me find ways to live a high performance life. All your work and efforts are so appreciated 😁

Great start, went downhill rapidly

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 January 2022

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed this book at first, and highlighted many important lessons and constructive ideas I could implement. Around 30% in, the book basically became waffle about sports and athletes and mostly irrelevant information. Examples should be boiled down to the essential features. I don't care about football, their upbringing, anything. From 30% onwards, the book could have been a bullet point blog post about entirely obvious high performance habits. I'm annoyed I spent so much money on a book that was basically a transcript of interviewing people in sports, with 15 pages of pointless information just to say 'be consistent'.

Great Read - A must to reach your full potential!

As an avid listener to the podcast on my weekly commute to work, I would often hear some great words of wisdom but unable to make notes as I was driving. This book has done that all for me in a neat, logical way! A great read, easy to follow with awesome, easy to follow hints and tips to hit high performance.
