Have you ever wondered what separates a peak performer from the average person? What makes one person more successful than another? What does an Olympic athlete have that makes him or her that much better than the competitors? Some may say the difference between Olympic athletes and average people is biological or hereditary. Others claim that people are products of their environment. Some may even say that it's all luck, or being in the right place at the right time. Rick's been studying peak performers for more than fifteen years and every peak performer he's studied has displayed clearly learnable patterns. Inspiring stories, anecdotes and analogies describing these learnable patterns are the hallmark of this talk. Rick balances content and humor to create a winning combination that turns listeners into winners.
