That’s what high performance is to me, the ability to adapt rapidly so you can achieve your potential. There are five key pillars to creating the conditions for adaptability: sleep, exercise, mental resilience, nutrition, and community/relationships.” - Dr Erik Korem “I maybe have a different concept on leadership. To me, leading is a verb. If you’re leading, you’re a leader. If you’re swimming you’re a swimmer, if you’re driving you’re a driver. If you’re leading you’re by definition a leader. I define leading as being looked to in a particular moment to make a decision or perform an action based on your unique gifts and abilities. So by that definition, everybody is a leader. All rank and role really describe is how many people are hoping you get it right when it’s your turn to wear the weight.” - Clint Bruce

The more you can kind of see your trajectory of mastery, and what it took to get there, the more likely you are to internalize this idea that like, okay, if I keep working hard, I'm going to keep that trajectory going." - Dr. Alex Auerbach
"Things that emphasize self talk that emphasizes language from coaches that focuses on progress, effort, growth, mastery, those things are going to help you all develop that growth mindset." - Dr. Alex Auerbach
"We want both that growth mindset, that appreciation, that hard work, effort, persistence matter, and that I'm making real progress and a little bit of fixed mindset. Like I've got something special about me and I'm going to be able to maximize that to be my best." - Dr. Alex Auerbach
