How Learning How To Lose Can Teach You How To Win | Steve Magness

Steve Magness is a performance coach to athletes and CEOs, a running expert who has coached Olympians, and an author whose latest book, ‘Win The Inside Game: How to Move From Surviving to Thriving’, explores how high performers can transform their lives by learning to let go of the traditional outcome-based view of success.

Steve discusses how constant striving led to burnout in his own life, why doing hard things is the best way to build resilience and self-belief, that joy is proven to be a performance advantage and why letting go of our competitiveness can actually make us better. He also explains why he puts sleep and recovery as the number one priority for his clients, whether they are athletes or CEOs.

His three step framework is a model for being happier while still maintaining your edge.
