Former football player Rasmus Ankersen, a.k.a. “The High-Performance Anthropologist,” has carved himself a unique niche in the worlds of coaching and performance improvement. Always sought-after as a speaker and adviser to businesses and athletes, he travels the globe to research, advise major corporations and give keynote speeches.
Rasmus has lived his research to the full; he has trained with the world’s fastest sprinters in Jamaica, played football with the aspiring talents of the Brazilian favelas, which produce the most talented players on earth, and followed the female golfers of Korea to investigate how they have managed to overwhelm the international golfing world.
Based in London, Rasmus uses the knowledge he has gained from his research to show companies, organizations, and teams how they too can assume the mental habits necessary for world-class performance. He takes down our fundamental ingrained beliefs and replaces them with winning strategies that have been proven to work in the real world.
Personal coach to top athletes and senior executives, Rasmus has published a number of books that have been bestsellers in his native Denmark.
Rasmus Ankersen is a bestselling author and a trusted advisor to business around the world.
In his first book ‘The Gold Mine Effect’ he explores how some countries and cities develop a disproportionate amount of top talent. In his second book ‘Hunger in Paradise’ he describes how successful organisations can remain successful by eliminating complacency.
Rasmus has been hired by well-known global brands like Facebook, Google, LEGO, Boston Consulting Group, Microsoft, Roche, Astra Zeneca, Coca-Cola, Cisco and many more to share his research on how to build high performance organisations.
He is also a football executive and for almost eight years he held the position as Chairman of FC Midtjylland and co-director of football at Brentford FC, both known as some of the world’s most innovative football clubs, especially recognised for their use of big data to drive decision-making.
Rasmus Ankersen, the High Performance Anthropologist, brings his experience from research involving high-performance athletes across the world to a fascinating presentation that investigates genetics, culture and personal motivation to examine what is really needed to create a winner. He asks, “How do you spot a superstar who is not yet a superstar? It's easy to spot people when they're already superstars, but before, what should we look for?"
Laying out the answers that will be invaluable to any recruiter or team leader, he explains, “What is a winner? A winner is a loser who has evaluated himself.”
Rasmus Ankersen brings his unconventional but deeply researched and tested approach to success in the business world. Using the lessons he has gleaned from high-performance athletes, he challenges organizations to re-evaluate their procedures for nurturing talent. He shows companies the secrets behind effective recruitment that can allow them dramatically to increase their access to the most talented people.
Encouraging companies to develop a sense of urgency, Rasmus can help you identify and strengthen those aspects of your business which make you a success and to establish a winning culture.

Hunger in Paradise: How to Save Success from Failure
Ankersen invested five years of research for his latest book, Hunger in Paradise: How to Save Success from Failure. He studied how successful companies remain successful, rather than giving way to the complacency or arrogance that can undermine an organization. His latest, highly successful presentation is based on the work, answering the questions “How do you stay motivated when met with success?” “How do you create a sense of urgency when all is going well?” Or to echo the book’s title, “How do you create hunger in paradise?”
