Peak Performance vs High Performance

I got this question on Instagram today: “Is there a difference between peak performance and high performance?”

Such a good question. At first glance, they seem synonymous, right?

But actually, they’re quite different. Peak performance is where you experience an intense burst of optimal function in one area of life, but once it’s over, you drop back down to regular functioning. High Performance is sustainable success across all areas of your life over the long term.

For example, an entrepreneur might experience peak performance because they are working 18 hour days during a launch, but that isn’t sustainable over the long term, so they drop back down again and therefore feel like the journey fluctuates up-down-up-down. Similarly, an athlete might have one stellar game where they’re functioning in their absolute peak state, but then the next game they’re back to a stable level of performance, and that can be incredibly frustrating.

To combat this irritating fluctuation, we need to get ourselves in a High Performance lifestyle, by bringing up our baseline functioning and success across all areas of our lives.

I’m lucky enough to be certified as one of only a few hundred High Performance Coaches worldwide, and I’m honored to get to serve such incredible people. I’ve been blessed to work with people who have broken world records in sport, launched new technologies and broken into the film and modeling industries. I currently have two spots open to work privately with me, so if you’re interested in getting High Performance Coaching to take your life to the next level in all areas, apply for a free, no strings attached consultation here.
