Introducing Between the Rounds: The Strategy Behind Performance

Everyone sees the fight. Few understand how it’s won.

Welcome to Between the Rounds. Performance isn’t built in the spotlight—it’s built in the minutes no one is watching: in gruelling training camps, during the rounds of sparring that break you down, and in the high-stakes sixty seconds between rounds when you have to adjust or fail.

Hosted by Sarah Cunningham—an elite amateur boxer and former Managing Director of a NYC creative agency—this show explores the intersection of elite sport and high-level business strategy.

In this introductory episode, Sarah breaks down the "unseen fight" and shares why the most honest insights don't come after a victory, but in the middle of the work when the uncertainty is raw.

What to expect from this series:

• Technical Breakdowns: Going beyond the highlights to the strategy that matters.
• Camp Access: Real-time insights into the grind of elite preparation.
• The Business of Performance: How the lessons of the ring apply to careers and leadership.

The lens is boxing, but the lessons apply everywhere.
