    Stress Regulation with Pool Training and Performance Breathing with Richard Burrows

    Rich Burrows is the owner and founder of Performance Breathing Au over in Noosa, Queensland, Australia.   

    Having followed each other on social media for a while, I wanted to chat with Rich because he is doing some great work in stress regulation, breathing and high performance.    He has a wealth of experience operating in high stakes and high-pressure situations, from the boardroom to the playing field and all manner of environments.   

    Having commenced his career in counter-terrorism investigations, Rich developed a reputation for remaining calm in a crisis, regularly dealing with national security matters.  He went on to Co-Found a national executive search consultancy. He continues to assist several multi-million dollar organisations in both the private and public sectors.   

    As an elite performance coach, XPT coach and Oxygen advantage instructor, Rich centres his approach on the mastery of breath. The foundations provided by sound breathing mechanics, efficient and effective use of oxygen and the ability to control the automatic responses to pressure, stress and fear can propel performance to entirely new levels.     

    Whether you are an athlete, business professional, tactical operator or busy parent, your success ultimately depends on your ability to generate and use energy at the critical moment, both of which are impossible without control of our vital life force - oxygen.     

    Rich's clients include Olympic Athletes, National and World Champions, Senior Executives and Technology Entrepreneurs. He is excited to help individuals from all walks of life 'build better wings'.

All Things Performance Related

Worth checking out just for ep 42 with Bear, what a fascinating dude. Martin has a genuine passion for fitness/health and has a good mix of solo episodes full of advice and one's with guests who focus on topics like sleep, stress and breath control.
