Bite Size: Train Your Nervous System Like an Olympian | Nam Baldwin

from Performance Intelligence · host Andrew May

What if calm isn’t something you’re born with — but something you can train?When the pressure hits, most people try to think their way through it. But breathwork expert Nam Baldwin argues that high performance starts in the body. Calm is not a vague mindset or a lucky personality trait. It’s a physical and neurological state — and it’s the foundation that elite performers rely on when everything is on the line.From Olympic sport to high-stakes business moments, the ability to deliberately shift your state can be the difference between choking and delivering.Nam unpacks why calm is a precursor to clarity, focus and execution — and shares simple, practical techniques to quickly reset your nervous system when you need to steady yourself fast.If you’ve ever wanted to control your state instead of being controlled by it, this conversation shows you how.Read Nam's LinkedIn post: https://shorturl.at/1OX81 Read the article with Jess Fox: https://shorturl.at/hJKtG Visit Nam's website: https://www.nambaldwin.com/ Visit Hupo's website: https://hupo.com.au/
