“Performance” to me is not just about getting up on stage, or performing on a sports field. Being able to perform well is about being able to live life with greater enjoyment and greater success. We want our body and mind to perform well. If the body and mind doesn’t perform well, life becomes tough. Training – i.e. being engaged in activities to improve – is about getting the the body and mind to perform at higher levels and with greater functionality – whether it is about getting the vocal cord to operate with greater functionality, or getting your body and mind to operate at higher levels during times of pressure and stress. Being able to perform well when it matters the most is perhaps the most valuable skill we can ever develop.
