---

In this episode of Almost Pro, we are joined by Dr Damien Taylor, a global leadership researcher and performance practitioner with decades of experience in elite sport.

This episode is Part 1 of a two-part series exploring the six foundations that support high-performance athletes, not just in competition, but across their entire sporting journey.

In Part 1, we focus on the first three foundations:

• Sleep

• Nutrition

• Exercise

Damien explains why these foundations sit at the core of performance, recovery, decision-making, and consistency under pressure, and why overlooking them often leads to burnout long before performance breaks down.

This series is relevant for athletes, coaches, parents, and anyone looking to become a high-performing leader in sport or life.

Join us next week for Part 2 as we continue the series, exploring quiet time and rest, environment, and community, and what really sustains performance over time.
