In this episode of Crossroads Recovery Centre, the focus is on the concept of effective practice and how peak performance isn't just a matter of winning the genetic lottery.

You'll find intriguing comparisons between different cultures and their attitudes towards competition, illustrated by anecdotes about singing competitions and village experiments.

If you're curious about how effective practice can transform your journey to sobriety or simply want to understand the dynamics of winning and losing, this episode promises a thought-provoking listen. It's not just about reaching the top but understanding the path that leads there.
