Presentations vary in terms of topic and target audience. Duff speaks regularly on the purpose of sport, mental aspects of high performance sport, and how both rec sport and high performance sport are both built on the love of the game.
A life well-lived keynote
Duff's second book, expected mid-2027, came about with the realization that he wouldn't be there forever as a father to his sons. In this associated keynote, Duff talks about physical and mental wellbeing, living a life of purpose, being a lifelong learner, and participating in both the good and bad the world has to offer.
ABOUT THE TAO OF SPORT:
Despite its mischaracterization in popular culture, the mental side of sport is perhaps the most significant aspect, and what very often makes the difference between success and failure, in particular at the highest level. The Tao of Sport explores the commonality amongst elite performers relating to purpose, passion, and growth, as a means to achieving high performance, or as a means to an end in itself.
An inspiring and informative read for athletes and coaches of any level, as well as parents, teachers, and anyone helping others to become the best version of themselves. The Tao of Sport will forever change your perspective on what it really takes to win.
