Ritual:
Consciously acquired routines that serve a mission

Rituals can become habits

We must use our limited self-discipline to build new positive rituals that support
full engagement in the things that really matter

Use rituals to create habits that serve your mission

RITUALS PUSH US TO ACT; HABITS PULL US TO ACT.

NUTRITION

NUTRITION FOR ENERGY MANAGEMENT

Nutrition can positively or negatively impact each energy dimension.

Nutrition plays a key role in managing energy, performance, health,
and engagement.

NEED VS. WANT

Many times there is a difference between what we NEED to eat and what we WANT to eat.

80/20 RULE
Using the 80/20 Rule
If 80% of the volume of food you eat each day provides the
necessary nutrients for function and health, then 20% of the
volume of food you eat can be whatever foods you want.

EAT STRATEGICALLY

Eat light & eat often to:

Stabilize blood glucose levels

Improve metabolism

Improve energy levels, brain function and mood

Control cravings

Decrease likelihood of overeating

Maintain muscle mass

Prevent excessive fat storage

DECREASED SUPPLY VS. DEMAND

Going too long without eating:

Not getting adequate glucose to the cells

Function declines in all energy dimensions

Decline of lean mass and slowed metabolism

Recommendation:
Eat every 3 hours +/- 1 hour
Never go more than 4 hours without eating!

C O R P O R AT E ATH LETE C O U R S E

NUTRITION

INCREASED SUPPLY VS. DEMAND

Eating too much:

Excess glucose not necessary to cells

Decreased energy and lack of engagement in all dimensions

Increase of insulin and fat storage

Recommendation:
Only eat the amount of food your body needs for the next few hours!
Avoid overeating!

BREAK THE FAST

Eat within one hour of waking up.

EATING AND EXERCISING:

Eat a small snack within 2 hours of exercising (both before and after); this
improves energy, performance and body composition

MOVEMENT AND ENGAGEMENT

Non-movement leads to:

Impaired blood circulation

Decreased metabolism

Consequences

Increased muscular tension/discomfort

Decreased energy levels

Moodiness

Decreased alertness and concentration

Disengagement

Non-movement eventually becomes a powerful disengager.

DEEP BREATHING

Breath regulation helps world-class athletes to stay calm, relaxed,

condent, mentally focused and fully engaged.
How do you breathe when you are under pressure, frustrated or angry?
How do you breathe when you are calm, relaxed and comfortable?

Optimal breathing at rest should be smooth, deep, regular, quiet and free of pauses.
Deep breathing exercises can restore optimal breathing and help you recover
physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
How often?
How much?

SLEEP

Sleep can be considered a period of planned non-movement, which allows

the body to recover energy, to grow and repair.
To Improve Sleep:

Aim to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night

Go to bed and get up at the same times each day- even on weekends

Create a bedtime ritual such as brushing your teeth, dimming the lights or reading a book chapter
to send a signal to the brain it is time to sleep

Avoid caffeine-containing drinks and/or foods such as coffee, tea, sodas and chocolate after 2 p.m.

Dont drink alcohol for at least 2 hours before bedtime

Try deep breathing exercises to relax

Keep your bedroom cool, dark and as quiet as possible

Exercise regularly and vigorously

What are the effects of insufcient sleep on your energy and performance?
How could you change your bedtime rituals to improve the quality (and quantity) of sleep?

MOVEMENT

Great performers manage Energy

The Problem: According to 42 independent Gallup studies, 75% of all

employees are disengaged in corporate America. Even more astonishing, these studies show that the ratio of engaged to disengaged
employees directly drives company profitability.
The Solution: For over 30 years, the Human Performance Institute has
utilized a multi-disciplinary, science-based approach to fully engaging
peoples talent and skill. The Institutes Corporate Athlete training
solutions are based on the premise that managing energy, not time, is
the key to sustained high performance, increased employee engagement and overall productivity.
