Lee Johnston built his elite performance foundation as a Royal Marines Commando, then proved it works across three Olympic Games and 12 British bobsleigh championships. Now coaching international teams, he reveals exactly how military discipline, long-term consistency, and pressure protocols create world-class athletes. In this episode, we unpack the systems behind peak performance, from how top competitors train when it matters least to the one coaching principle that separates champions from everyone else.

• Why the start is everything in bobsleigh (and performance in general)
• How to build real mental resilience under pressure
• The difference between average, good, and elite performers
• Lessons from the Royal Marines mindset applied to sport
• Why discipline and consistency beat motivation every time
