The rules at the top are different
Learn What Actually Works When It Matters
Anyone can perform when conditions are perfect. The elite prepare for when they’re not.
On The Performance Edge Podcast, guests go beyond frameworks and share the experiences that shaped them -moments of doubt, pressure, fatigue, injury, burnout, and comeback. You’ll hear how they learned to think clearly under stress, recover when they were pushed to the limit, and perform when it mattered most.
Alongside their stories, we break down the sports science and performance psychology principles behind each experience - so you don’t just hear what happened, you understand why it worked and how to use it yourself.
This podcast doesn’t just change how you perform - it changes how you prepare for the moments that test you.
