Ben Hunt-Davis explains how Britain’s men’s eight transformed from an underperforming crew into Olympic champions by relentlessly filtering every decision through one question: “Will it make the boat go faster?” Instead of blindly copying others, the crew challenged assumptions, redesigned training around their own needs, and used a simple standard to cut through ego and build gold-medal winning habits.

In this conversation with ReliaQuest mental performance coach Derin McMains, you'll hear Ben discuss:

• How hard work alone isn't enough
• World-class teams are built on honest conversations and continuous learning
• Performance rises when excuses end and ownership begins
