Fitness Alpha: Get Healthy, Perform Better

Earlier this week, I joined Barry Ritholtz on his Bloomberg Podcast At The Money to discuss a simple and powerful performance model.

I call the model Fitness Alpha and I have discussed it previously in this newsletter.

The basic idea goes like this - The healthier you get, the better you perform across multiple areas of functioning including:

1. Stress Tolerance & Resilience

2. Executive Functioning & Decision Making

3. Focus & Concentration

4. Energy & Endurance

5. Self-Control

6. Emotional Regulation

7. Self-Confidence & Self-Efficacy

8. Strength & Controlled Force

9. Flexibility & Balance

Improved functioning in these areas leads to enhanced performance for challenging endeavors, especially competitive & stressful ones like money management.
