Not Every
Breath Is Designed to Calm You Down

The central idea is simple:
The best breathing technique depends on the athlete’s current state and the state the next moment requires.

An athlete can be:
• Too flat and underactivated
• Energized but mentally scattered
• Overactivated and tense
• Finished competing and unable to downshift.

Not Every Performance Problem Is a Mindset Problem.
Good mental-performance coaching includes knowing when not to coach through something and when an athlete needs additional support.
Master Your Breath. Master Your Mind.

Chris Gingrich is the Director of Mental Performance & Endurance Coach here at @thewarriorcalling. He served as a corpsman with the Marines, with EOD and as a Navy Diving Medical Technician. He also worked as an Instructor at Naval Special Warfare Basic Training Command.

👉In his own words…here are some lessons learned from his time serving in special operations:
“A big lesson learned during my time in the military is that you always have to prove yourself. Just because you made it through training doesn’t mean you’re automatically good to go.

The guys you will work with want to know if you’re a team player or if you’re selfish. If you’re going to only do and learn your job, or learn yours and others.
When I was with the Marines, those guys tested me as a corpsman. I would do everything they did to prove I was good: 20-mile ruck march-done, a week in the field-check, training-did it, learning the weapon systems- did it. They learned they could trust and rely on me.”

Big takeaways from Chris:
1. Ask questions, whether you’re new or not. Ask. Some individuals have been in this job for much longer than you. Learn as much as you can. 2. Always be improving.  3. Stay fit - your job, life, and the lives of your team depend on it. 4. Keep a small book and pen with you, at all times. Taking notes and writing important info down is important. I kept a book, and I separated it into sections: names and numbers, medical notes and info, and everyday notes/things to do. 5. Take care of your gear, and your gear will take care of you. 6. Always have your gear ready. At a moment’s notice, you could be on a plane headed downrange.

We’re honored to have Chris Gingrich onboard our coaching team! He works 1:1 with our team members- helping them develop mental fortitude and improve their running and endurance capabilities so they show up prepared for any SOF pipeline, ultimately ready to perform as operators.

Pressure doesn’t create champions—it reveals what you’ve trained.
Train your nervous system to stay calm when the moment gets loud, and you’ll perform when it matters most.

Calm isn’t weakness. It’s a competitive advantage.

He talks about what sets him apart from others is listening to his coaches and his mindset.
It’s all mindset. Mindset is everything.

Peak performance isn’t built in the big moments—it’s built in the small pauses. Two minutes of intentional breathing can help you regain focus, lower stress, and return to the present when it matters most.

Under pressure, your breathing becomes your anchor.
One slow, controlled breath calms the nervous system,
quiets distractions, and keeps your mind focused on the task-not the moment. Before every penalty kick, control your breath first.
Calm creates clarity, and clarity leads to confident performance.
Master Your Breath. Master your Mind.

I’ve mentioned how important and useful meditation is, it’s proven.
Great athletes don’t just train their bodies—they train their minds.
Breath and meditation aren’t about escaping pressure; they’re about mastering it. When the moment gets loud, the calmest mind often performs the best.

Master Your Breath. Master Your Mind.
