Elite performance is no longer a mystery — it’s a science, a mindset, and a practice. Leading the conversation in this space, Dr Kristen Holmes, a globally recognized authority in human performance, has unveiled her brand-new podcast, THE LINE. This groundbreaking series promises to transform how listeners approach potential, action, and excellence.
Produced by Steven Bartlett’s FlightStory, the podcast features deep conversations with elite athletes, world-class coaches, scientists, and leaders who reveal the strategies and habits that underpin extraordinary performance.
What is THE LINE?
THE LINE is more than a performance podcast — it’s a journey into the critical moment between who you are now and who you want to become. Each episode examines the turning point where intention becomes action, and potential evolves into measurable achievement.
Dr Holmes describes it as:
“THE LINE isn’t just another performance podcast; it’s about tapping into the light and potential that already exists inside each of us. It’s about building integrity, taking that first step, and giving ourselves the chance to transform.”
The show is designed to demystify high performance, providing practical, actionable steps for anyone looking to elevate their physical, mental, and emotional capabilities.
