🚀 Your breath is a control panel.
Different settings. Different outcomes.

Want to lock in focus before a match?
Need to chill out after a tough practice?
Looking to enter flow mid-game?

Each lever here represents something you can access—if you know how to breathe for it.

My goal is to help athletes learn how to pull these levers with their breath. On demand, in the moments that matter most.

If you want to learn how to pull these levers DM me and let’s talk.

When I work with athletes I help them understand that various types of breathing are like different levers they can pull to get different results.

If you need help quieting the noise and gaining focus in crucial moments let’s talk!

Your breath is tool that you have at all times that can do just that for you.

Excited to come full circle tonight with by combining my seminary education with my focus on helping athletes improve their breathing.

Our breathing alone can enhance both our physicality and spirituality. Can’t wait to introduce these young men to the power of both.

Struggling to finish a tough rep? Try this:

Exhale—hard. 😤

Research (and experience) shows that exhaling during a lift increases force production, especially compared to simply holding your breath (the Valsalva maneuver), which showed little effect in this study. (But is essential at other times)

Your breath isn’t just about staying calm, it’s a legit performance tool.

👉 Tip: When you hit the sticking point of a lift, like the midpoint of a squat or bench, drive the exhale out forcefully to help push through. It recruits deep core engagement and so tension radiates throughout your body driving force where you need it.

Your breath is a tool. Learn to use it.

Most athletes leave performance on the table because they’ve never trained their breath.
Not here. 🧠💨

We train the muscles, the mind, and the breath — because your lungs are part of your performance system.

The best part? Results show up fast.
Let’s get to work.

What if you had a dial for your nervous system?

Crank up the intensity when it’s go time.
Turn down the stress when it’s time to recover.
All with your breath. 🫁⚙️

That’s the power of understanding how your breathing works.

When athletes learn to control their breath, they’re no longer reacting to stress—they’re in charge of it.

That’s why I don’t just give athletes drills... I teach them the why behind it. Education is the game changer.

If you’re ready to learn how to take control of this dial, DM me “DIAL IN” and let’s jump a FREE 10:00 educational call

🔥 Did you know that carbon dioxide (CO₂) isn’t just a waste gas — it’s a powerful regulator of your blood flow? 🔥

💨 Higher CO₂ levels cause vasodilation — blood vessels widen, letting more oxygen-rich blood flood your muscles and brain. This boosts performance by enhancing endurance, recovery, and focus.

⚠️ But when you blow off too much CO₂ (like during overbreathing or hyperventilation), your blood vessels constrict (vasoconstriction), especially in the brain. This reduces blood flow and oxygen delivery, causing dizziness, reduced focus, or even fainting.

🎯 The key for athletes:

Train your breathing to balance CO₂ levels — avoid overbreathing and use controlled breathwork to optimize blood flow and performance.

Follow to fix your breathing and stop holding back your performance

You’re doing everything right…
✅ Lifting weights
✅ Dialing in nutrition
✅ Focused on sleep and recovery

But you’re still gassed early. Have a weak core. And can’t stay calm under pressure.
I’ve seen this over and over with high-level athletes.
They train like pros, but they never learn to breathe like one.

Here are 7 overlooked signs your breath is holding you back:
1️⃣ No breath control during lifts = power leaks
2️⃣ No pre-session breath plan = reactive, not ready
3️⃣ Mouth breathing during warmup = early burnout
4️⃣ No game-day breath strategy = scattered under pressure
5️⃣ Tight hips/shoulders = chest-breathing & chronic tension
6️⃣ Never trained breath holds = low endurance, poor recovery
7️⃣ Think breathwork is “extra” = overlooking the fundamentals

If any of those hit… it’s time to fix your foundation.

👉 Follow to train the system everyone else ignores and finally unlock your next level of performance.

Same workout. Same intensity.

Two athletes. Two completely different recoveries. 💨

One is using efficient posture—hands on knees, diaphragm in a strong, domed position, catching their breath with purpose.

The other? Hands overhead, chest heaving, diaphragm stretched out and inefficient.

A common habit—but not an effective one for fast recovery.

Now—are there times when standing tall or signaling confidence is necessary? Absolutely. Context matters. And *that’s* why coaching matters.

Knowing **when** and **how** to recover, and matching your posture to the goal, is a skill most athletes never learn.

I coach athletes to use breath and position together to recover faster, stay composed, and perform under pressure.

Sleep apnea doesn’t have to mean a lifetime of machines.

When Lori found out CPAP wasn’t an option, she took control—and started training her breathing instead. 🫁

Now? She’s sleeping deeper, waking up more rested, and feeling physically stronger every day. 💪

Breath training isn’t just about performance—it’s about reclaiming quality of life.

If you’re struggling with sleep, breathing, or energy, this kind of change is possible. And I’d love to help.
