    Diaphram IQ

    Joe equips athletes with breath training skills that strengthen the intelligence of the diaphragm to develop healthy breathing habits that build strong minds and bodies - foundations for exceptional athletic performance. Healthy breathing boosts energy, improves focus and concentration, and significantly reduces worry, anxiety, doubt, and fear.

    Diaphragm MVP

    It's scientifically validated that the quality of the mind is directly proportional to the quality of the breath. Because mental states are impacted by breath health, it makes sense to train the diaphragm to be the MVP of the athlete's career. Since the breath impacts all of the systems of the body, the diaphragm is a highly accurate monitor of an athlete's mental health.

Reasons Athletes Do Breath Training: Better Humans,
Better Athletes

Yellow Right Hashes
  • Breath health is affected by anxiety and exhaustion and impacts all systems of the body, negatively impacting school life and sports performance.

  • Most athletes are living with some form of undiagnosed breath dysfunction. This challenges mental health. It’s why breath training is the answer to retraining the breath to be functional, healthy, and effortless.

  • Breath training is the foundation for a body and mind to thrive under stress.

  • Breath training involves improving three areas: biochemistry, biomechanics, and cadence. All three help to restore functional movement of the diaphragm which improves sports performance.

  • Breath health makes the body more resilient and the mind stronger: clear, calm, focused, and present. This is an elite state of mind.
