About the Author

Brad Stulberg and Steve Magness are the performance experts who merged Olympic training with executive coaching.

Stulberg: Former McKinsey consultant who coaches Fortune 50 executives and professional athletes. Magness: Exercise scientist with a master's degree who coached Olympic athletes and holds the 13th fastest American high school mile time. Together they've written for New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Sports Illustrated, and Wired. Their book Peak Performance applies athletic principles to knowledge work.

Beyond the books: They discovered that sustainable excellence requires oscillating between stress and rest—contradicting Silicon Valley's "always on" culture.

Their Growth Equation (Stress + Rest = Growth) transforms how organizations approach performance. Companies using their methodology report 52% lower burnout rates while maintaining productivity.

The duo bridging sports science and boardroom success.
