A good example of a great performer who was a subpar athlete was Bill Walton, a UCLA basketball standout. Walton didn’t become an outstanding basketball player because of his genes, but rather he wasn’t going to let anything get in the way of his dream of becoming a basketball player. 2.…

    The self-assessment test on Bethel’s Read section helps to determine where you stand, where you are trying to go, and your determination to get there (Bethel University,2014 pg2). This test consisted of thirty questions ranging from one being the lowest and five being the highest which you rate yourself.

    When I watched the lecture video, I was inspired, and I begin to ask myself if I was a peak performer.

I think peak performers have made a decision before starting a task that they will finish or meet their goal no matter what challenges come their way.…
