In this episode, we break down why so many handlers walk to the start line with a clear plan and instantly forget everything the moment the run begins.

You Will Learn
  • Why your brain blanks on course and how stress shuts down the prefrontal cortex, reducing timing, sequencing, and decision-making.
  • How adrenaline affects handling, including tunnel vision, and reversion to default movement patterns.
  • What the Yerkes-Dodson curve tells us about optimal arousal for performance and why beginners fall off the curve sooner.
  • How to use the physiological sigh as a rapid, science-based tool to reset your nervous system right before a run.
