Great to take some of the @westernbulldogs boys through an extended breathwork flow @pandosociety yesterday 🐶

This was about more than just “slowing down.” Designed specifically for AFL athletes - this flow helps release stress and tension, regulate the nervous system, build CO₂ tolerance and HRV to support faster recovery, sustained performance, and sharper focus and decision-making under pressure.

The breath is the bridge between the external demands of the game and the internal world that drives performance.

As Jon Kabat-Zinn said, “you can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf”…. It all starts with the breath 🌬️✊🏼

Can’t switch off at night?💡

Try this quick breath reset to help you dose off 😴

Elite performance, requires elite recovery, and that always starts with great sleep.

Athletes 🏉 are you getting the most out of your breath???

Your breath is the fastest tool you’ve got for recovering between efforts, staying calm in the chaos, and accessing flow state.

No app, no gadget. Just you and the one thing you’re already doing “unconsciously” every second of every game.

Learning how to breathe properly will help you:

🫁 Recover faster between efforts and games by building your CO2 tolerance, so oxygen gets released where your muscles need it most (that’s the Bohr effect at work)

❤️ Boost your HRV and train your heart rate to settle quicker, so you reset between contests instead of carrying the last mistake into the next one

🧠 Stay calm under pressure by shifting out of fight-or-flight and back into control

🎯 Sharpen focus and improve your decision making

🧘🏻‍♂️ Access flow state and play freely! The space every athlete wants to be.

Breathing is a skill. And like any skill, it can be trained.

Master your breath, and you master the moment. The only place where the game is ever happening!

Comment “breath” to learn more.

Ever noticed how trying to think your way out of overthinking rarely works? 🤯

Here’s why 👇

It’s like adding more stock to a boiling pot of soup.

It simply overflows and leaves a big old mess.

What we want to do is turn down the flames. 🔥

That’s exactly what down regulating breathwork does.

⸻

Conscious long, slow and deep breathing stimulates the vagus nerve, which works in a symbiotic relationship with the parasympathetic nervous system.

Your rest, recover, and digest response. 🌬️

When we slow the breath and extend the exhale, we’re sending the body a signal that it’s safe to relax.

As a result the flames subside, and the overthinking loses its heat.

⸻

Once you’re in a calmer state, the story tends to change too.

The thing you were spiralling about looks different through a calmer and more regulated lens. 🧘🏻‍♂️

Save this for the next time your mind won’t switch off. 🔖

Client Testimonial ✍️ @sam.davidson

“I am very grateful that I have crossed paths and been able to work with Pitto over the past few months.

Through working with Pitto, I have been able to gain a deeper understanding of who I am and what allows me to perform at my best. My perspective on things, both football and non-football, has changed for the better.

He has provided me with various tools to be able to face the challenges of life. I’m really grateful for all the guidance and support and I’m looking forward to continuing the journey.

Cheers Pitto!” - Sam Davidson @westernbulldogs

So wonderful to witness your growth Davo. Seeing that expansion in action has been a gift. Thank you for showing up so fully and committing to the inner-work with honesty, openness and integrity. I’m excited for what’s to come brother ✊🏼🙏🏼

Client Testimonial ✍️ - Luke Carlson

“It’s rare to encounter a soul such as Josh. A brotherly kinship that will extend far beyond the 6 weeks of introspection that we have had the privilege to share with each other (thus far). The facilitation of inner space created by Josh to make peace with what I have been carrying, to cradle the imperfections and to reconnect with what truly matters.

It’s a journey from protection to presence, from avoidance to acceptance, and from judgement to authentic choice.

The learnings have manifested in the understanding that the destination isn’t necessarily a dramatic revelation. It might simply be inner progression, the bridge from examination to purpose, and purpose to authentic action.” - Luke Carlson, @2construct

A joy to walk the path with you Luke! I look forward to exploring more as we continue to integrate the work with the mask you wear at 2Construct 🙏🏼
