$400
The $20,000 executive performance system, now available for $400.
If your energy, focus, and habits aren’t where they should be, it’s not because you’re “undisciplined.” It’s because nobody ever handed you a simple operating system for your body and brain.
The Better Basics Performance Course is the exact framework former Special Operations leader Alex Racey uses with executives who pay $20,000 for private coaching. You get the same system, tools, and community for $400, including:
- The Better Basics Performance Handbook
- 7-Day Reckoning Journal – $25 value
- 30-Day “Rate the Day” Journal – $25 value
- 1-Year Racey Performance Community Membership – $120 value
Built for busy, high-responsibility people who want more output, more presence, and more runway in life, without extreme diets, two-a-days, or biohacking gimmicks.
What You Get Inside (Course + Toolkit)
Better Basics Performance Course (Core Curriculum)
A step-by-step online performance course that walks you through:
-
Baseline & Awareness
- Use the 7-Day Reckoning Journal to map how you actually live now
- Identify patterns in food, sleep, movement, and stress that drain performance
-
Systems > Willpower
- Replace “I’ll try harder” with simple daily checklists and guardrails
- Build a Weekly Operating System you can actually stick to
-
What to Eat (Without Turning Your Life Upside Down)
- The Real-Food SOP: clear rules of thumb for busy people
- Protein-first framework to fuel better focus, performance, and recovery
- Real-world rules for eating out, travel, and social events
-
When to Eat (The Food Clock)
- How to use timing to improve energy and recovery
- Evening cutoff rules that help you wind down and sleep better
- Adjustments for training days, shift work, travel, and chaos weeks
-
Sleep, Recovery & Mental Performance
- Simple, non-fragile routines that support better sleep and focus
- Practical tools to dial down stress before it owns your day
-
Move Like a Human, Not a Full-Time Athlete
- Sustainable movement standards that fit real life
- How to pick “good enough” training instead of chasing perfect programs
You’re not asked to overhaul your entire life. You’re shown how to upgrade the basics you’re already doing — eating, sleeping, moving, thinking — so they finally work for you.
Better Basics Performance Handbook (Hard Copy)
Your field manual for the entire system:
- Clear explanations of each concept in plain language
- Cheat sheets and diagrams to reference quickly
- Step-by-step instructions for implementing each Better Basics protocol
Think of this as your always-on coach in written form.
7-Day Reckoning Journal (Hard Copy) – $25 value
Before you “optimize,” you need to see the truth.
This guided journal helps you:
- Track your real week – food, sleep, movement, stress, screens
- Spot the patterns that are quietly wrecking performance
- Remove guilt and replace it with data and curiosity
- Not “Did I do good or bad?”
- But: “What happens in my life when I just live normally?”
This is the starting line for every executive Alex works with. Now it’s yours.
1-Year Racey Performance Community – $120 value
You’re not just buying an online course. You’re joining a performance community.
For 12 months you’ll get access to:
- Weekly coaching calls led by Alex Racey
- A private community of people who are also running the Better Basics playbook
- Q&A, support, and accountability so this doesn’t become “one more course you never finished”
High performance is a team sport. This is where you find your team.
Step inside the Racey Performance community and turn the manual into daily action. Get live coaching, a clear path to follow, and people who are running the same system you are.
Frequently Asked
Questions
Is this only for high-performers or athletes?
No. Better Basics is for anyone who wants to stop guessing and start running a simple system for their life, training, and recovery.
Do I need the Manual to join the Community?
No. You can join the Racey Performance Community for $10/month on its own. The Manual is the full playbook plus journals and a year of community access in one package.
What if I can’t make the weekly live calls?
Calls are recorded and posted inside the community, so you can watch replays on your schedule and still stay on track.
How long before I notice a difference?
The system is built around a 90-day install. Most people start feeling more organized and in control within the first few weeks as they log, check in, and adjust.
Is there a digital version of the Manual?
Right now the Manual is a premium hard copy product that ships to you and includes the journals plus one year of community access.
