How to breathe like an Olympic medallist with Adam Burgess

Adam Burgess won a silver medal in the Canoe Slalom at the Paris Olympics. Prior to travelling to Paris for the Games I sat down with Adam and he shared insights into his journey as an athlete, discussing the challenges of selection, the pressures of competition, and the importance of resilience. Adam’s mindset is truly inspiring and hearing how he approached the Olympic Games with such positivity makes you realise he was a winner before he even approached that start line.In this chat he highlights the role of breathwork and yoga in his training regimen, emphasising how these practices have enhanced his performance and overall well-being. Adam also touches on the significance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including strategies for quality sleep and nutrition.This episode is sponsored by Recovery from Joint Operations.
