The Death of the Attention Athlete (& The Rise of Nervous-System Training)
from The Unbroken Protocol · host Abraham Spring
This episode breaks down how social media has reshaped modern training — not just what athletes do, but why they do it. We explore how constant comparison, highlight-reel culture, and overstimulation have created “attention athletes” whose bodies can keep going, but whose nervous systems are overwhelmed.I share what this looked like in my own life: doing every sport at once, carrying constant injuries, and mistaking overstimulation for discipline. And we talk about the shift into nervous-system–led training, seasonality, meditation, and building a life that feels strong rather than chaotic.If you’ve felt burnt out, distracted, or disconnected from the joy of movement, this episode shows why and what the future of sustainable performance looks like.Less noise. More clarity.This is the rise of training that keeps you unbroken.Unbroken Triathlon Club - Recovery-Led Performancewww.unbrokenclub.com | @unbrokentriathlonclub
