What's the Difference Between Peak Performance and Peak Experiences

[Joseph Maynor]

Are they interrelated in some way or do they get at different things?

[DrewNows]

Peak experience of rollercoaster ride would be the “big drop” or maybe the “loop” 

peak perfomance is related to one’s ability so maybe if we try to determine a peak performance for the rollercoaster ride it would be or could be at the time when you ride “no hands” 

they can be related but I think they are different assessments (enjoyment/excitement vs ability) 

Maybe you can take this deeper...

In Abraham Maslow's famous hierarchy of needs, self-actualization is located at the very top of the pyramid, representing the need to fulfill one's individual potential. According to Maslow, peak experiences play an important role in self-actualization.

Self-actualization is actually considered quite rare, which means that peak experiences can be equally elusive. Not all people reach the peak of Maslow's pyramid. In one study, researchers found that only about two-percent of individuals surveyed had ever had a peak experience.

Peak experiences are not restricted solely to self-actualized individuals, however. Maslow believed that all people are capable of having these moments, but he also felt that self-actualized people were likely to experience them more often.

from another article of peak performance----

TRIUNE Health Group's Peak Performance newsletter is built on the simple concept that the accomplishment of all our goals comes from creating the right foundation from which each of us can then march forward. Goals are achieved and reached when the individual seeking to do so is empowered with the right tools. Whether that entails perseverance, courage, or even humor, virtues are good habits that put our values to work and leave us happier. Aristotle once said that "a virtuous person does the right thing at the right time." And so TRIUNE Health Group presents Peak Performance to help each of us professionally and personally to achieve those goals.

Absolutely they are interrelated. This is your flow state, when your merge with experience and produce optimum results without thought. Intense activity can give you this, like rock climbing for example or running. I get it sometimes with creative practices like drawing and painting.
