The 4 Building Blocks of Performance
Crossing the thin line between good and great
Building your foundation on just physical development, or even physical and mental development, is not enough. What separates the "good" from the "great" goes well beyond mere talent and physical ability. The “Four Building Blocks of Performance" helps to maximize your performance and experience the best of this life (and beyond). My book Build 4 Winning takes a deep dive into these four principles. Please consider signing up for my 4 part series and order my book today.

Through fitness, practice habits, nutrition, and rest, developing the physical building block focuses on gaining the necessary levels of strength, power, speed, conditioning, and flexibility to perform a given task.
“For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things”
1 Timothy 4:8
Through goal setting, education, emotional development, and positive self-talk, enhancing the mental building block increases the mind’s ability to process available information, learn from it, and make informed decisions. When we develop our minds, we increase our understanding of both ourselves and the world around us
"Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life"
Proverbs 4:13
Through character, relationships, community, and love, improving our social building blocks helps us understand ourselves, value other people’s perspectives, and respect our differences. It capitalizes on our innate desire for relationship, community, and love—how to cultivate these things in our own lives and help provide them for others.
“Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken”
Ecclesiastes 4:12
It is the most important of the building blocks and the foundation on which all other growth is built. Spiritual issues examine the deep, underlying questions of life: Where did I come from? What gives life meaning? How do I determine right from wrong? Where do we go when we die? Our spiritual growth determines our direction not only in this life but also beyond.
“For the word of God is living and active…discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart”
Hebrews 4:12
