And there was a big media thing.

It was in all the magazines and newspapers, sorry, because they came over for a press week.

And I had on a whiteboard, Conor Benn's non-negotiables.

And for context, Charles, just to showcase to the audience here that these could be used for absolutely everyone to great effect.

No phones after 9 p.m.

Well, why is that important?

We know the blue light exposure is going to negatively impact melatonin production, which is therefore going to have a knock-on effect to sleep.

Connor is very type A, a million miles an hour.

He does not know 60% when I ask him to give 60% in a training session.

It's 100% all in every time, which is a coach's dream.

But knowing that, you've got to know your athlete.

that recovery is fundamental and something we say is you can only train as hard as to what you can recover from so if your sleep is impacted because he's like this and looking at his phone at 11 o'clock at night well that's going to be incredibly problematic to the recovery piece so that's the first one the second one was three liters of water a day well in Mallorca with higher perspiration rate with an athlete who again sweats a lot trains a lot twice a day six days a week

That's pretty important from a hydration point of view.

2% drop in bodily fluid can lead to hydration issues or dehydration that then impacts muscle contractions, cognitive function, decision making.

Obviously with a boxer, CTE, they're getting punches to the head.

That's very problematic.

So you can see how the daily non-negotiables are linked into something that actually is incredibly important towards the longer term goal of winning the fight.

So to your question,

There is no secret sauce, but these systems work for absolutely every human on the planet.

Certain individuals like a Connor Benn, you give him non-negotiables.
