You’ve heard that WHYpower is stronger than WILLpower.

Because the harsh reality is…

No matter how strong and resilient you are, if you’re constantly relying on your willpower to fuel your forward progress, it will eventually run out of gas.

When your willpower runs out of gas, so do you.

But, besides being clear on the WHY behind your WILL, what if there’s something else you can do to give your willpower some added support?

In today’s 5-Minute Drill, I share a key nutrition strategy that will give your willpower the necessary backup it needs.

If you want elite performance to be a more consistent characteristic of your life and game, then make sure to lock in to today’s Drill.
