No matter whether you're an Olympic athlete, working in business or a full time mum, we all want to be performing at our best. The world is telling us to keep pushing and grinding - "never give up" - because that's what it takes to make it to the top.

This is the quickest way to see results, but it often leads to a range of long term issues. Exhaustion, overwhelm, anxiety, burnout to name a few. Brooke shares her experience of what her peak performance looked like over a 10 year period, and how she was able to maintain a consistent performance on and off the hockey field.

She also draws on her team's methods of colour coding their weeks so they would be able to peak for key events, because it's impossible to keep training at the top level without rest and recovery.

We all go through periods of time where we are utterly uninspired, exhausted and find it hard to get daily motivation. Brooke refers to these periods as 'seasons', and she shares her experiences of how she rode the lows.

Alexi Pappas talks about the rule of thirds. You’re supposed to feel good a third of the time, okay a third of the time, and not great a third of the time. If you feel roughly in those ratios, it means you are in fact chasing a dream. If you feel too good all the time, you’re not pushing yourself enough, and if you feel too fatigued, you might be burning out or having a mental-health challenge and need to reevaluate.

Brooke also shares how important mental fitness is and what you can do to train your brain. We always wait around to 'feel' more motivated, and this is where we get stuck. Action leads to motivation, not the other way around.

You know wellbeing is important, but where do you start? ‘Peak performance’ and ‘wellbeing’ tend to be separate conversations, but they are more intertwined than you may realise. When you’re tired or sick, you’re less likely to be resilient or cope under pressure. So, it makes sense that by putting wellbeing at the centre of everything you do, you will be able to perform more consistently at a high level.

This is the key to Brooke's success on the hockey field, even though a lot of people treat wellbeing as a luxury. We often don't address our overall health until there's an issue and we are in crisis mode where burnout and fatigue is already here. "I meditate when I'm stressed" is the perfect example. Why not meditate when you're not stressed, to prevent the stress in the first place?

Brooke shares her top wellbeing tools and encourages participants to draw on their own habits and routines that have worked for them in the past. She shares ways to actually track your mental, physical and social health through a weekly check in, and helps you build habits to get more out of your day.
