We go stateside this week and talk to Erwin Benedict Valencia or simply ‘E’. I have know Erwin since 2016 when we met in New York City in his role working in Basketball and we’ve been good friends ever since. I would regard him as a polymath, hugely competent in many different and diverse domains. At the last count he had over 30 letters after his name but that really is just a by product of who he is.

He grew up in the Philippines but moved around a fair bit as a kid before getting his first break working in professional sport with the Pittsburg Pirates in Major League Baseball. From there he went into professional basketball where he remains today. He's widely sought for his views and skills and the athletes he works with benefit hugely from his continuous learning, his curiosity and his positivity. During this chat, we touch on resilience, recovery, over-training, mindfulness, meditation, breathing, manifestation and positive psychology.
