Quotable moments:
"When your sleep is off, your mind is off, but when your mind is off, it can impact your breathing because you're less likely to cope with difficult situations." - Patrick McKeown
"If you have dysfunctional breathing, you're more likely to gas out. From a biomechanical point of view, if you have dysfunctional breathing, you're more likely to get injured and have lower back pain." - Patrick McKeown
"Breathing and movement go together. So if the breathing is dysfunctional, movement is dysfunctional." - Patrick McKeown

That’s what high performance is to me, the ability to adapt rapidly so you can achieve your potential. There are five key pillars to creating the conditions for adaptability: sleep, exercise, mental resilience, nutrition, and community/relationships.” - Dr Erik Korem   “I maybe have a different concept on leadership. To me, leading is a verb. If you’re leading, you’re a leader. If you’re swimming you’re a swimmer, if you’re driving you’re a driver. If you’re leading you’re by definition a leader. I define leading as being looked to in a particular moment to make a decision or perform an action based on your unique gifts and abilities. So by that definition, everybody is a leader. All rank and role really describe is how many people are hoping you get it right when it’s your turn to wear the weight.” - Clint Bruce
