High performers in both sport and business tend to overcomplicate things, on the other hand, they cannot just assume they can go it alone.<\/h6>\n

Dan Lawrence, the Head of Performance at Matchroom Boxing, watched his former boxer, the now-retired George Groves, learn this in real time.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, he had a team. He had myself, a conditioning coach, we had his head coach at the time,\u201d Lawrence tells the Leaders Performance Podcast. \u201cHe was steering the ship at that time, whereas I don\u2019t think that was the right way to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

In fact, \u201cyou have to have a cohesive team working with one sole goal\u201d.<\/p>\n
