About this listen
With its winning mix of gripping narrative and easy-to-implement performance-raising tips, this book has become a best-selling classic. It’s garnered five-star reviews and wide-ranging endorsements - from Sebastian Coe and Dame Kelly Holmes to Lord Digby Jones.
The book tells the inspiring story of how Ben Hunt-Davis - an ordinary guy on an ordinary team - achieved something pretty extraordinary: Olympic gold. Coauthor Harriet Beveridge, executive coach, then gives a simple, engaging account of how we can apply these strategies to raise our own game...in sport, in business, and in life.
Building on the huge success of the original, this second edition includes two completely new chapters - on high-performance conversations and performance under pressure - as well as a general update based on the successes people and businesses have reaped from the first edition.
In the book’s signature down-to-earth and practical style, the new chapters unlock simple ways for listeners to thrive in their own pressured environments and to communicate in ways which consistently improve results.
Whether you are a business leader looking to achieve a compelling vision, an individual with a dream, or a coach supporting others to unlock their potential, this book is jam-packed with tried and tested methods to help you achieve your own "gold medal".

Interesting philosophy
This was excellent to listen to however I’ve given it 4 stars for the story as at times it as repetitive to hear his lack of success.

Practical examples aplenty
I was recommended this book by a mentor. I'd heard the phrase beforehand multiple times but now truly believe I understand it better and can apply some of the concepts relatively easily in different contexts in my life. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to be more productive.

The coaching tips and the examples to apply to life. The links to the Olympics.
The time stamps on a audible and the waffling. it could be more concise and precise.

even if you aren't using this book to inspire you to work harder or smarter, Ben's story alone is a true inspiration and should be admired.

A business book without the BS
I would highly recommend this book to anyone starting out, looking to make a difference and to seasoned “professionals”…there is something useful in it for everyone!
Imagine…setting a goal 10 years before hand that can only be made a reality on a particular time, on a particular day and in under 6mins!
The discipline turning into the consistency to turn average into excellence!
Best phrase…”Don’t talk bollo#ks to Basil!”
