I find myself consistently stuck on how to identify and maximize my “elite skill.” I seem to help our athletes understand theirs and optimize their path to a higher ceiling, but struggle to identify my own. As I embrace a new role that includes improving systems/teams, and not only singular athletes, I am wondering about strategies to identify and build skills in myself and others that are likely more ambiguous compared to analyzing sport performance. This was quite the thought-provoking read as I navigated between my own performance and the performance of my clients.

Thanks for sharing, Logan!

One thing you could try - email me 10-20 of your closest friends, and ask them to send you a short story about a time they saw you using your strengths.

Then group the answers thematically, and see if anything rises to the top for you as an elite skill you’d want to try and maximize!
