The Difference Between Optimal And Peak Performance For Fighters

Heatrick Heavy Hitters – Muay Thai Performance

Do you know the difference between optimal and peak performance for fighters? Too many fighters don’t, and it’s costing them!

I see many pro and hobbyist fighters alike, rightly working incredibly hard in their training, but mistakenly believing that every session must push them harder than the last.

“Go hard or go home” has its place. However, this attitude is regularly misplaced and over simplified.

Understanding when this kind of maximal effort is needed, and when it’s not, is what separates those that become the best they can be and those that boom and bust!

In this episode, I’ll explain what the difference is between optimal and peak performance training, and how to use both approaches to best effect as a fighter.

The objective is to build long-term performance, so that in a year you’ll be a different fighter. And in a few years you’ll be untouchable!

This is very different to the flat, cyclic progress the vast majority of fighters make with their athletic performance between one fight and the next.⁣

Investing time and effort into developing and using a solid training program pays back in a way that may not be hugely noticeable in the short-term (a month or two)…⁣ ⁣

But holding your focus, keeping with it for longer periods, compounds your progress incredibly – while others slip back (and are doomed to repeat).⁣

I’m looking to work with fighters that understand this, and are hungry to make a real difference to their training.
