The very best performers aren’t born that way, They have to learn excellence.
Learned Excellence brings the mental disciplines, principles, and tactics of high performance together into a clear and practical guidebook. We are all performers, at work, at school, at home, and at life. Across any field, Learned Excellence provides the roadmap for each of us to perform at our very best in every aspect of our lives.
Learned Excellence is from performance psychologist and retired US Navy commander Eric Potterat, who developed the mental toughness curriculum for the Navy SEALs, served as the director of specialized performance for the Los Angeles Dodgers, and has worked with thousands of top performers from the military, sports, first responder, and business worlds. And from former Google executive Alan Eagle, who co-authored the best-sellers How Google Works and Trillion Dollar Coach.
And now, so can you.
