530: Kristina Centenari on Nervous System Literacy and Athletic Flow

In this show, Kristina Centenari explores the connection between breathing, nervous-system literacy, and athletic performance. We discuss her journey from Division I tennis to endurance sport, managing pressure and frustration, building awareness of physiological stress, and using breath training to improve composure. Kristina also breaks down breathing “gears” for runners, the relationship between relaxation and high performance, and why learning when to release tension may be just as important as learning to produce it.
