Mastering the Art of Rest: The Unseen Performance Lever

What is typically overlooked by highly competitive athletes and Type A business leaders alike? Rest. 

 

Adolfo shares the strategic performance lever that is rest, and how its careful integration into your routine can dramatically improve your training, development, and overall performance.

 

Hear in this episode, why rest is not just a break from training, but a critical component of performance enhancement that deserves as much attention as active training sessions. Adolfo shares his firsthand experience of how the journey recognizing the value of rest transformed his approach to mastering various disciplines.

 

When it comes to the Performance Formula, rest plays an essential role in the equation. Adolfo explores the groundbreaking work of Dr. Anders Ericsson discussing the concept of deliberate practice. He warns against the overachiever, who often ignores their body’s signals for rest, to work with one’s biology for sustainable high performance. The episode covers the essence of discipline being not just about pushing through, but also knowing when to pull back.
