It all happens like this: In high-velocity organizations, problems are swarmed at the time and place where they occur and by the people who are affected. A benefit to swarming a problem immediately is that it can be contained before it can affect someone else’s work. And the longer the problem remains unresolved, the more difficult and more expensive it will be to solve. In
The High-Velocity Edge

Trainers well steeped in soft-tissue injury prevention are so rare that at P3, they refer to them as “unicorns.” The future Marcus envisions has much less time watching TV or stuck on Zooms, or even working out on the elliptical—and a lot more time surfing, climbing mountains, and jumping into water. When you go to the gym, though, Marcus says, let it be prescriptive to your exact body. Histories and movement patterns carefully assessed. Your MRI in the gym file. The workout hard-core, challenging, fun, and entirely designed and overseen by a trainer with a piece of paper detailing your exact issues—skilled eyes on your body as it moves. Marcus watched me walk around a few minutes before noting I had the body type of a blender, which in NBA players comes with a 300 percent increased likelihood of lower-back issues. Everyone knows we land with three moving parts—ankle, knee, hip—that can absorb force. The news is that some bodies recruit a fourth, the lower back, and start moving things around there. The injury and the solution are both movements.
ENJOYMENT AND RENEWAL Simply changing channels is an effective method to refuel emotionally. During the past decade, we have been surprised and dismayed to discover how infrequently most people undertake activities simply because they are enjoyable and emotionally nourishing. One of the most revealing questions that we ask the clients who come through our training is how frequently in their lives they experience a sense of joy or deep satisfaction. The most common answer we get is “rarely.” Think for a moment about your own life. How many hours a week do you devote to activities purely for the pleasure and renewal they provide? What percentage of the time would you describe yourself as feeling deeply relaxed? When was the last time you truly let go and felt fully disconnected?
