Most athletes spend their warm-up preparing their muscles.
I spend mine preparing my nervous system.
Before stepping on the ice, I use a combination of breathing, visual training, reaction drills, explosive movement, and sensory stimulation to help prepare my brain and body for performance.
But the biggest lesson I’ve learned as a college athlete is that none of these tools matter if your mindset is working against you.
A massage gun, BlazePods, eye exercises, or breathing techniques won’t compensate for stepping into competition expecting things to go wrong.
The goal isn’t just to warm up.
The goal is to create a state that allows you to perform at your best.
Because performance isn’t just physical.
It’s neurological.
What does your game-day routine look like?
