Same rigorous core training. Specialized breakouts for your world.
Clinical Integration Track

- Trauma-informed protocols and safety
- Documentation and scope of practice
Athletic Performance Track
For: Performance Coaches, Trainers, & Strength Coaches
Become the coach who gives athletes the edge no one else is teaching. Master breathing assessment, recovery protocols, and competition-day strategies that transform how your athletes train, compete, and recover.
Breakout Focus:
- Performance-specific breathing assessment
- Oxygen Advantage & CO2 tolerance protocols
- Competition day and between-set recovery
- Team implementation strategies
The Single Most Underutilized Performance Tool
Your clients and athletes do it 20,000 time a day. But are they doing it right?
They train their minds. Their bodies. Their skills. But what about the one thing that connects it all?
Changing how someone breathes all day has a bigger impact than any other single intervention—not just in sessions or competition, but in recovery, sleep, and stress management.
This isn't about adding breathing exercises. It's about rewiring the nervous system for sustainable high performance.
