Fred came to see me for help in improving his energy level for cycling. I asked Fred to explain exactly how this lack of energy happens?
He told me that his energy level was at and all times low and he had a problem completing the race because he lacked the necessary level of energy. So what I did next was to ask Fred to show me how he did deep breathing about 5-10 times. After he demonstrated this deep breathing process I told him I knew what his problem was and I could fix it within a few minutes.
The technique of proper breathing should be done in the following:
1. Firm up your lower stomach muscles (make sure the stomach muscles aren't tight because it will interfere with your breathing).
2. Just focus your breathing into your lower stomach approx. 2 inches below your belly button.
3. Although each breath goes through your chest area, it should be focused in your lower stomach area.
Fred was pleased with my answer but a little skeptical at the same time because he'd gone to see the top experts in cycling and they couldn't figure it out and this was puzzling him a bit because he knew my background was in karate.
I started to explain to Fred that over 98% of all athletes would lose between 40%-60% of their energy by the time they reach teenager. The reason is because their breathing pattern changes in the most negative ways and this reduces the amount of oxygen being diverted in the wrong places within your body.
There is a simple and fast way to solve this and it can be done through a special breathing that is easy to learn and implement in any sport.
I showed Fred examples that showed him how it works and how to use it in sports or in daily life for maximum energy levels.
I then showed him about Mental Focus because the mind can and will control the amount of energy that is needed for athletes. I figured that 80% improvements were due to the breathing technique that I showed him and the other 20% had to do with Mental Focus.
