Related to this topic, I recently listened to “Compete to Create” (https://www.amazon.com/Compete-Create-Approach-Leading-Authentically/dp/B08911JMJX https://www.amazon.com/Compete-Create-Approach-Leading-Authe...). It struck me how much time professional athletes spend on preparation and recovery relative to engineers. Even more striking, this is considered by head coaches to be a key responsibility of employees doing the work.

It’s interesting how professional sports evaluates & compensates employee performance separate from employee time at the office. I wonder if professional engineering might learn anything from this?
