No position gives the body more energy, more potential than posture, whether you're an athlete or you're working at a computer.

Our systems communicate better when we have posture. Everything works at its ideal level, right? Our breath works right, our alignment's right, the body's under the least amount of stress. It works best in the field of gravity when we're in posture.

And posture is not just a static thing, it's a movement thing too. So training people how to move in posture is critical too. That's why we never learned that growing up. So these athletes that go out there and have all these great potentials genetically haven't even touched how good they can get if they were able to put all these systems together.

Okay, welcome back or welcome to the Finding Mastery podcast on Michael Gervais and by Trade in Training, a sports psychologist, as well as the co-founder of Compete to Create. And the whole idea behind these conversations is to learn from people who really understand stuff, who really understand their craft and how to articulate it. And we wanna dig deeper to understand, like how did they position themselves, their inner life? How did they work to have some alignment of their inner life and to organize their external world to really pursue both mastery of craft or mastery of self?

And we want to dig to understand the mental skills that they use to build and refine that craft.

I wanna take a minute here to announce a really exciting event that we have coming up. As you continue to navigate the challenges and opportunities of 2024, I wanna pose a question. What are you doing right now to be great with stress? How are you working with stress on your pursuit towards your most important ambitions and goals? And I just wanna get right to the heart of the key elements, one in particular, for what it takes to excel in today's high heat, high stakes world. Because stress is not the problem that we think it is. Stress is a synonym for change. And our ability to be agile with change, that is the real opportunity at hand. So if you're wanting to unlock extraordinary results and sustainable performance in your life, it's not about avoiding or reducing stress. And as simple as that sounds, it's very tricky to do, but it is about fundamentally changing your relationship with it.
