About

Welcome! This is a place to explore all things performance. From sport to business to life, how do we perform at our best over the long haul? Hopefully, this channel will provide an answer. My name is Steve Magness, and I'm the author of 5 books on performance that have sold nearly 1 million copies. I'm an exercise physiologist by training, and have coached dozens of world-class endurance athletes, as well as advised teams and athletes in every professional sport. Once upon a time, I ran a 4:01 mile in high school.
