High performance isn’t just about talent—it’s about sustainability. In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Tara McNeil, a renowned sports physiologist and high-performance strategist, who works with top athletes to help them reach the podium. But this conversation goes far beyond sports—it’s about what it really takes to perform at your best in any field—without burning out along the way. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, CEO, leader, or athlete, the pressures of success can come at a cost. Too many high achievers are walking away before they reach their full potential—not because they aren’t capable, but because they’re mentally and physically exhausted.
