Why Athletes Should Harness Breathwork
Legendary surfer and performance icon Laird Hamilton has long emphasized the transformative power of conscious breathing—and it’s not just spiritual talk. Proper breath control can:
- Calm the body and prepare muscles for action, whether you’re surfing, climbing, or sprinting.
- Be a tool to remain present and reduce stress: “As soon as you start extending your breath past 7 seconds, you bring everything down.”
- Teach you to tap into ‘the Zone’—enhancing focus, release, and flow during high-stakes athletic performance.
Breathwork’s Benefits for Athletic Excellence
As athletes, we’re always striving for that next edge. Breathwork is a simple, yet powerful tool for:
- Improved recovery and reduced fatigue by activating the parasympathetic nervous system.
- Heightened mental clarity and focus, especially when the body is taxed or under pressure.
- Greater resilience and emotional regulation, essential for navigating setbacks or fear.
- Enhanced lung capacity and oxygen uptake, translating to more endurance and stamina.
