Post a Comment On: Transplant Athlete

As I said in my last post, I wasn't impressed with the actual presentation, but I thought the content held some promise. So here is what I took away from the presentation. 1) Twenty minutes of meditation has the same recuperative power as three hours of sleep. If this is true, then I have a new secret weapon for RAAM next year. So, I'll research this and get back to you on the results. 2) Nasal breathing increases efficiency and during exercise can lower your heart rate. Again, I'll research and let you know what I discover. 3) He mentioned "Invincible Athletics" by John Douillard, which is a $59 set of tapes, but John Douillard also has a book called, "Mind, Body, Sport: The Mind Body Guide to Lifelong Health, Fitness, and Your Personal Best" which covers many of things Jim talked about. I will buy a copy and let you know how it works out.
