My guests for this episode are Andy Matthews and Brian Stolman. Boht Andy and Brian work for a company out of Michigan called Neuropeak Pro, Andy  is Director of golf performance for Neurpoeak Pro and Brian Stolman is a Peak performance coach.  Now Neuropeak Pro is a company that has been helping people to improve their lives through helping them optimize their brain performance and breathing for quite some time. The reason that we have them on our podcast is many of those same people are athletes playing in some of the best leagues in world sport including NFL. MLB , NHL and of course for our purpose today on Professional Golf Tours around the world. Two clients that might be familiar in the golf world would be Jordan Spieth and Bryson Dechambeau.  The exact reason for having Andy and Brian on the show was to discuss breathing… now yes we all breathe and we all know that its pretty much an essential but the question is how much do we really know about it. Are we breathing the right way for example mouth versus nose breathing. Does how we breathe affect our performance? Should we be breathing slower when under pressure? What’s this fight or flight response everyone talks about??  We discuss how athletes in general need to be looking at how they breathe irrelevant of what sport we are really participating in.  We get into some terms that you might have heard around breathing discussions including Precision breathing training, Heart rate Variability or HRV and how they might be affecting you as a golfer.  If you are that arrive at the course nervous player who just hopes to hit it well to relax Andy creates some nice ideas about how you can use breathing in your warm ups for your round or even before you get to the course We then chat about the Ntel belt that Neuropeak Pro use in assessing clients breathing. Its is the first of its kind real time precision breathing device which shows heart rate data and real time respiration data as you train.  We then move on to the coaches section of our Podcast. So if you are a coach who has been looking at breathing training for your players or even if you have not we chat about how a coach might recognise the need in a player to look at their breathing patterns and how to introduce it to your players.  We discuss the recent creation of the Neuropeak Pro coach certification. So what does the certification entail and how we can use this for our own education as coaches and indeed what the plans are for enhancing this education for those who perhaps want to deeper dive.  If you are interested in performing better this will be a really interesting soft introduction to breathing viewed from a scientific and sports perspective.  To receive a years FREE subscription to the Neuropeak Pro App when purchasing your Ntel belt simply type " STEVEMOORE " in the Apply Coupon tab when purchasing and the FREE year app subscription will be added to your cart.  Alternatively type copy and paste the link below into your browser and complete your purchase to receive the FREE years app subscription.  https://www.neuropeakpro.com/product/ntel-belt/ref/SteveMoore/?wt_coupon=SteveMoore
