Dave Brailsford is a legend.
Specifically, Sir Dave Brailsford is a legend of British cycling.
Under his leadership, Britain went from cycling obscurity to Olympic gold medals and Tour de France dominance.
What large scale changes were made under his leadership that dramatically improved the outcomes of the team?
None.
Rather, Brailsford focused on 1% improvements, what he calls the aggregation of marginal gains.
He says, “If you broke down everything you could think of that goes into riding a bike, and then improved it by one percent, you will get a significant increase when you put them all together.”
His pursuit of 1% improvement left no stone unturned.
His team examined, and sought improvement, in such granular areas as what pillows the team slept on and how effectively they washed their hands.
