The greatest athletes, inventors, artists and minds have something in common\u2026\xa0\n\xa0\nOf course they all have incredible work ethics, support systems and above average talent and luck- but those qualities don\u2019t differentiate the great from the very best.\xa0\n\xa0\nIn truth- there is no template for world class performance. So what is it that separates them?\xa0\n\xa0\nAccording to our guest, Gabe Polsky- an award-winning Writer, Director, Producer and one of the top documentary filmmakers in the world of sports and beyond- the one attribute that separates the elite from the great is their creativity, improvisation and ability to turn disadvantage into strength.\n\xa0\nHow does he know?
