8 Key Performance Indicators of Elite Athletes
1) An Efficient Mover
In a sport like functional fitness, or even weightlifting, elite athletes have to be efficient movers under heavy load, under fatigue, and under metabolic conditioning.
2) A High Level of Resilience
Elite athletes have to be able to do things well and with the least amount of effort and thinking possible. A very resilient person has a ton of capacity.
3) A Self Pacer
They know when not to go [to their] threshold and when to hold back.
4) Good Genetics
You can out-train your genetics, but only up to a certain point.
5) Rhythm
Elite athletes have consistent workouts. They have rhythm in their lifestyle and in their training plan.
6) Proper Sports Intent
Elite athletes have a clear vision and a clear “why” for what they are doing.
7) High Fitness IQ
People with a high fitness IQ are generally very disciplined and incredibly self-aware. They’re able to evaluate themselves on a high level.
8) Extensive Sports Culture Knowledge
Basically, it boils down to knowing the rules, the current state of affairs with sanctioning, knowing the training programs, knowing how to do the qualifiers, what it feels like to create a training program, and how to prepare for a competition.
