Better Basics Performance Course by Alex Racey
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.

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.
Most “high-performance” programs give you hacks. Alex gives you handles.
Better Basics Performance is a 90-day, real-world system that locks in the four domains that actually drive your performance:
- EAT – What, when, and how you fuel
- SLEEP – How you recover, reset, and rebuild
- MOVE – Daily movement that supports, not sabotages, your life
- THINK – The mindset and systems that keep you consistent
This is not theory. This is the field-tested operating system Alex has used with executives, operators, and high-performers who can’t afford to burn out, and can’t afford to coast.
This course is built for you if:
- You’re a busy professional, leader, entrepreneur, or parent who can’t afford burnout
- You want more energy, better focus, and steadier moods without crazy protocols
- You’ve tried diets, “programs,” or 75-day challenges that never stuck
- You want a clear, science-informed system you can run for years, not weeks
It’s not for you if you’re looking for:
- A magic supplement stack
- A 6-week shred
- A hype-heavy, no-substance program
Better Basics is for people who are ready to run a better operating system, not chase another hack.
Alex Racey teaches this system privately to executives for $20,000+. That price isn’t about information — it’s about access and customization.
Instead of diluting the content, Alex chose to:
- Keep the full performance framework intact
- Package it into a guided online performance coaching course
- Add the journals and community you need to stay accountable
So you get the same core system for $400, plus:
- 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
Total value far beyond the sticker — if you run the system.
- Purchase today & get instant access to the course portal

You’re never left guessing what to do next. The system walks you through it.
