EP 77: Optimizing Your Performance with Lessons Learned from Sport with Ben Sporer

There is magic that can be found when you take the time to learn how successful people make things happen in other industries and endeavors besides your own. Success leaves clues and if you look closely, there’s so much we can learn from others that do amazing things.  

 

This is so true in sports. High performance athletes talk about how they succeed and their mindset and tools are things we, as entrepreneurs, can use to grow our business and build the life we want to live. 

 

Ben Sporer is joining us today to talk about the lessons entrepreneurs can gain from elite athletes. He literally wrote the book on the topic!

 

Ben Sporer, PhD, has spent nearly 3 decades working in elite sport and human performance. He has held multiple roles with the Canadian Sports Institute and, as an accomplished physiologist, has led performance support teams at summer and winter Olympic games, as well as at World Cup and World Championship events. In addition to his role as founder of Resync, a boutique performance strategy firm for sports organizations, athletes, and corporate clients, Ben is an adjunct professor at the University of British Columbia and is currently the vice-president of performance strategy for the Vancouver Whitecaps FC of Major League Soccer.

 

Ben is the author of a new book, “Output: Optimizing Your Performance with Lessons Learned from Sport,” Ben combines his scientific expertise with decades of experience in sport and business to simplify the strategies of high-performing athletes and how they can apply to anyone, in any field. By explaining the mechanics of the Core 4 performance factors and reframing the link between preparation, action, and purpose, Ben reveals a performance solution that empowers you to value output over outcome.
