Performance expert and bestselling author Alan Fine has dedicated his career to helping people improve their performance and reach their full potential, starting from his early days as a tennis coach. To him, the biggest obstacle to high performance is not a lack of knowledge, but mental interference and distractions that prevent us from applying what we know. The key ingredients for high performance are faith (belief in yourself), fire (motivation and energy), and focus (controlling your attention on what's most important). Learn how successful people control their focus and attention, believe in their ability to learn and improve, and have the energy to persevere through challenges.
