The physiology of consequential judgement.
Better physiology.Sharper cognition.Stronger decisions.
Decision Athlete is a 12-month private clinical performance engagement for founders and high-consequence leaders. We measure the physiology and cognition of ambitious individuals, and through targeted behavioural changes, we improve their physiology, which impacts their cognition, which powers their decisions.

The problem
Your judgement is the one asset nobody audits.
Everything else in a well-run company is checked before it becomes a commitment: the accounts, the code, the contracts. The person making the largest decisions is not.
Judgement is not a fixed trait. It is a capacity, and it moves with sleep, load and recovery. Same person, different state, different decision.
The state you decide in is part of the decision.
Measure. Monitor. Manage.
Measure.
A clinical and cognitive baseline: blood panel, genetics, sleep and cardiovascular data, and cognitive testing. It shows what your good state looks like in numbers.
Monitor.
Continuous data from wearables, with formal reassessments each quarter, read as a whole picture rather than as separate scores.
Manage.
Specific changes to load, recovery and behaviour, agreed in private calls and placed around the decisions that matter most.
One clinician. Twelve months.
The engagement is private and one-to-one. I hold the whole picture throughout: the baseline, the monitoring, the quarterly reassessments, and a fortnightly 30-minute call, with a report before each one. Between calls, you can message me directly, whenever you need to.

About
About Dermot Rock
I qualified as an osteopath in 2011 and have worked in strength and conditioning since becoming a certified strength coach in 2007. My time as an army officer gave me another perspective on performance in environments where responsibility matters. Later, studying innovation at the University of Galway gave me a framework for examining how ideas move from theory into practice.
I am undertaking doctoral research in Human Performance and Innovation at the University of Limerick. My research asks: to what extent can decision-making readiness be determined as a physiological construct?
Decision Athlete is a practical, individualised investigation into that question, conducted over twelve months with sustained clinical attention.

Decision Athlete
The Last Unaudited Asset
The book
Read the argument first.
Decision Athlete: The Last Unaudited Asset makes the case for treating the person who decides as an asset that is measured and maintained. Read it before you decide whether to talk.
