Always amazed at the overlaps between sports and life. My colleagues who do endurance sports tend to perform as endurance athletes at work (consistent and methodical) and the anaerobic ones do as well (sprints of extreme output followed by recovery time)

Anecdotal, but if I could go through all of the people I've ever hired, the #1 predictor of their eventual success has been having track and field or cross-country somewhere in their life history

Were you track and field? If so, I wonder if it’s a compatibility thing rather than that type being inherently more awesome haha. I have found all types of exceptionalism have been deeply useful when applied correctly, but compatibility can be tricky
