Profiling as a shortcut to optimizing performance in sports

To me, everyone is talented – and helping people find and perfect their talent is my passion.

One of the biggest steppingstones towards optimizing your talent, is realizing how your behavior is either helping your or obstructing you and/or your team.

Using a profiling tool such as the Predictive Index we can learn about a person’s innate behavioral drives and cognitive abilities, which tend to remain stable over time. Our behavioral drives and the rate at which we learn new things stay constant. If we’re tested and retested, we’ll typically score the same or nearly the same.

As opposed to traditional coaching methods profiling gives you unbiased data and insights that can support and guide your motivation and development to optimize performance – both individually and in a team.

Who can we learn from?

The Success Shortcuts book will be based on the profiles of top performers from some of the most popular team and individual sports in the world.

The athletes and trainers will be asked to fill out a behavior and cognitive profile using the world’s leading talent optimization platform: Predictive Index. After filling out the profile, all participants will receive a copy and a readback of their profile.

For teams, we will work with both the individual profiles as well as the team dynamics to explore possible connections between specific behaviors and success parameters.

Finally, both athletes and trainers will be asked to describe the ‘perfect’ / most desirable behaviors for different types of athletes and team players.
