<p>This week we have an extract from our exclusive members club The High Performance Circle, with former Olympian and business coach, Cath Bishop. </p><p>Cath believes that we have come to define winning too narrowly - as a moment in time crossing the line, winning a medal, and at a level set by others rather than ourselves. That 'win at all costs' mentality has seen 'the costs' rise to unacceptable levels. </p><p>Cath talks about the need to redefine winning in a way that helps us to explore our potential better and thrive over the long-term, to ensure that crossing the line first or last is connected to something of lasting value. Jake and Damian respond to Cath's excellent keynote speech. </p><br><p>Listen to the full keynote and so much more by signing up to our exclusive members club for FREE.

<p>Chris Bosh is a NBA Hall of Famer, eleven-time All-Star, two-time NBA champion, Olympic gold medalist, and the league’s Global Ambassador. Chris had his playing days cut short at their prime by a freak medical condition. His extraordinary career ended not at a time of his choosing but “in a doctor’s office in the middle of the afternoon.” </p><p>Forced to reckon with how to find meaning to carry forward, he found himself looking back over his path, from a teenager in Dallas who balanced basketball with the high school robotics club to the pinnacle of the NBA and beyond.</p><p>Reflecting on all he learned from a long list of basketball legends, from LeBron and Kobe to Pat Riley, he saw that his important lessons weren’t about basketball so much as the inner game of success—right attitude, right commitment, right flow within a team. Now he shares that journey with his book ‘Letters to a Young Athlete’ which is out now.  </p><p> - - - - - - - - </p><p>We have a book coming out!
