They gather all the data they can, not just performance statistics and biographical details but also the results of their own laboratory experiments with high achievers.
词汇：
statistics //n. 数据，统计数据
achiever //n. 成功人士
结构：
They gather all the data they can（主句，最后的they can是定语从句）, //not just performance statistics and biographical details but also the results of their own laboratory experiments with high achievers（not just...but also并列的名词短语做同位语，对前面的all the data作补充说明）.
译文：
他们收集一切可能得到的资料，不仅包括性能统计数据和详细传记资料，还包括他们自己对成功人士进行的实验室实验结果。
翻译思路：
performance statistics感觉是一个专业术语，查了一下，应该是“性能统计数据”。
