BREATHE TO PERFORM WITH DAVID BIDLER

On this episode, I sit down with ultra-runner, coach, educator & author David Bidler. Among the many projects David is involved in, his recent work is focused on helping our youth develop tools to prepare them to become our leaders of tomorrow. Central to this mission is helping educate kids to utilize the breath as a tool to address mental health issues.

In this discussion we go broad and deep, covering issues such as David’s untraditional path, what ultra-running is and is not, what we as parents can do to help our kids through this COVID19 situation, and some interesting neuroscience experiments exploring the breath and brain plasticity.
