Resumen del Editor

There is a new revolution happening in sports as more and more athletes are basing their success on this game-changing combination: health, nutrition, training, recovery, and mindset. Unfortunately, the evidence-based techniques that the expert PhDs, academic institutions, and professional performance staffs follow can be in stark contrast to what many athletes actually practice. When combined with the noise of social media, old-school traditions, and bro-science, it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction.

Peak is a groundbreaking book exploring the fundamentals of high performance (not the fads), the importance of consistency (not extreme effort), and the value of patience (not rapid transformation). Dr. Marc Bubbs makes deep science easy-to-understand, and with information from leading experts who are influencing the top performers in sports on how to achieve world-class success, he lays out the record-breaking feats of athleticism, and strategies that are rooted in this personalized approach. Dr. Bubbs expertly brings together the worlds of health, nutrition, and exercise, and synthesizes the salient science into actionable guidance. Regardless if you’re trying to improve your physique, propel your endurance, or improve your team’s record, looking at performance through this lens is absolutely critical for lasting success.

Please note: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great info for athletes and coaches

Loaded with up to date info on all areas of the athletic endeavor, from playing to coaching, nutrition to the mental game. This is a must read for anyone who plays sports or works out. Great book!!

Utterly amazing!!!

I wasn't expecting from a sport book something as advanced as the wisdoms of the generalist experts and how something that aparently doesn't anything to anothers areas of tour life can afects others... It's simply amazing, now I gotta listen again and again to absorb all of this knowledge🎉.

Packed with Information

This book is very detailed and incredibly informative. Anyone from a novice to an experienced training will take something away from this book and everyone should read it more than once to absorb all the information.

Superb

Almost too much detail at times. but in every way, Dr. Bubbs gives hope to athletes of all ages. I have made serious nutritional shifts based on his advice. Read the book if you have more than a casual approach to fitness.

Every thing in health is important.

Loved the book it was a good read, thanks for putting in all the work

PieRsquareSportsScience.

This book is very well narrated considering the high caliber content included in every chapter. I use Audible.com to preview books on my Amazon.com wish list. This is definitely one of those books that I will proceed to purchase the hardcover version. There’s so much to learn from that it simply requires more than just listening to it. It is definitely a keeper for your personal ‘sports science’ library.

Well Researched; Many Topics

Very well researched and presented scientifically driven best practices across athletic performance topics.

Certain chapters were very dense describing studies and numbers in great detail - a bit challenging to consume in audiobook format.

I was expecting focus on endurance sport performance however topic range was much broader. I felt the chapters on concussions and team sport / coach philosophy in particular broaden the scope of the book too much

A must read for increasing performance!

I have read, and/or listened to, more than 4K books on increasing performance—from the battlefield to the boardroom to the competitive arena—and the author has produced an amazing blueprint for anyone desiring to improve their results in all areas, not just athletics.

Yes, I have read or heard of the majority of his exhaustive resources, but it has taken me more than 50 years to assemble what Dr. Bubbs has done with PEAK!

After reading some of the reviews, I realize others may believe the information is “dry” or less than ground breaking, but therein lies one of the major issues with overcoming “common” problems—human performance, obesity, dementia, etc—in that the solutions are available but individuals don’t implement them. If you’re not part of the solution then you’re part of the problem!

Although seemingly focused on coaches and support staff, I think this should be required reading for athletes, parents and significant others as a foundation for taking an active part in performance improvement from having a general understanding of their journey, thus being able to ask intelligent questions of their coaches, etc.

If you want to save yourself an infinite amount of time and greatly improve your (athletic) performance then you need this book!

Love this book!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It was so refreshing to hear unbiased data accumulated in one place and presented in a clear manner. There’s no bs, assumptions, or opinions. Marc tells it like it is, like a true researcher. A word of caution - it is very dry, and reads like a textbook. I disagree with the comment that his voice sounds like a robot. His voice didn’t bother me at all, I thought it suited the content and was clear and consistent throughout. You have to like getting real nerdy about data and research studies, though - which I personally love. Let’s cut through the bs and get to the real outcomes! Marc did an amazing, thorough job, and presented the content very clearly and articulately. I feel so much more informed about how to take his research and implement it into my own sports training and nutrition regimen.

New Ideas Discovered

This book gave me several new ways to pursue peak performance for me and the athletes I train.
