The Breathwork Moment That Changed Everything

The first time breathwork ever clicked for me, I was lying on my back with my heart rate monitor on. I had just gone through something stressful and my heart was pounding at 120 beats per minute. I started a slow 4 7 8 breathing pattern. Inhale for four. Hold for seven. Long exhale for eight.

Within minutes, my heart rate dropped into the 60s. I felt my entire system settle. It was the first time I experienced real control over my internal state.

That moment shaped how I think about training. Breath, bracing, and controlled intensity are foundational skills. When an athlete learns to regulate their system under load, everything improves: strength, power, recovery, mood.

ReadyCoach is built from that same philosophy. Every workout reinforces structure, pacing, and intentional movement. It is not just sets and reps. 

It is practice for how you operate under stress, which is exactly what the nervous system responds to.
