Brain, again thank for reminding us of the simple things we can include in our programs. To often we (I) think I should do it ALL or not do it at all. It may not always be Perfect for everyone on the team but when it is perfect for those players the difference will be noticeable.

I have one athlete (the best on my team) that could benefit from this immensely. He has pre-game anxiety, which usually results in two quick fouls and subsequently having a seat on the bench.

For those of you who want to take a deeper dive into breathing and performance, look at Buteyko breathing technique (nasal vs mouth breathing) and the value of CO2 in anxiety and performance.
