How to…
ACHIEVE PEAK PERFORMANCE
Work Like A Winning Athlete
Professional athletes can teach valuable
lessons that hold true in the workplace. Here are some
strategies that winning athletes use. They can help you become
a top competitor in the workplace.
ü Set goals.
Goals give you long-term vision and short-term motivation.
They also help you organize your time and avoid distractions.
ü Stay in the
"zone." True champions have the ability to block out all
distractions and be in the moment. If you find your mind
starting to wander in a meeting or you become anxious about
the outcome of your presentation, stop and ask yourself "What
should I focus on right now to perform my best?" Ignore
everything else.
ü Play with a
strong partner. Athletes agree that being outmatched can
help strengthen their skills. Working with someone whose
knowledge or skills are superior to your own encourages you to
strive for excellence. Find someone whose performance you
admire and ask to work on a project with that person. Your
game will be stronger for it.
