Marginal gains is an approach that was created by Dave Brailsford with British Cycling which led to many years of success. It’s an holistic approach where you can reflect on your habits and behaviours, looking for small 1% improvements to ensure you give yourself a better chance of success.

In this short episode double Olympian and now, a motivational speaker and executive coach Chris Cook tells me about his experience of implementing a marginal gains approach. The emotion associated with such innovation and the results too.

Key Learning Points:

  • How can I swim 2 lengths of the pool faster was a question Chris often asked himself with the help of a Sports Psychologist.
  • It helped him simplify his approach and question why he did what he did on a daily basis.
  • Being triggered by something often is caused by some sort of inner conflict. Seek to explore it.
