In 1998, following yet another disappointing Rowing World Championships, Ben Hunt-Davis (MBE) and his GB Eight rowing team realized they needed a fresh approach to succeed.
They began asking themselves a simple question with every decision and action: ‘Will it make the boat go faster?’
This mindset led them to develop sustainable techniques that ultimately led to their gold medal win at the Sydney Olympics in 2000. In this book, co-written with Executive Coach Harriet Beveridge, they share similar strategies to improve performance in business and life.
