Calm Under Pressure Workshop, Saturday 16th - Sunday 17th July

In this workshop you will master practical skills relating to the control of your body and mind’s response to stress and pressure situations. 

You will learn the same mind/body training that we implement with elite level athletes to ensure they remain focused and execute to their highest potential.

You will learn how to control key body systems in dynamic settings to improve endurance, focus, strength and power.

However, this is not solely about athletic performance but about optimal health and peak  performance in any environment.

The workshop is a unique combination of theory-based knowledge and practical application that will teach you:

• How to better control your autonomic nervous system, improving your ability to fluidly transition between sympathetic and parasympathetic states (energised vs relaxed). This will have a profound effect on your ability to recover faster, sleep better and remain calm in stressful situations, while having better mental focus throughout the day.
• The role of stress in shaping your response to challenging situations and how to control its effects on the body and mind. How to use stress to your advantage.
• Science based tools and protocols to stay calm despite extreme tension and discomfort.
• How to use visualisation and mindfulness to achieve peak performance.
• Establishing your personal mindset themes 
• How to perform during crucial moments by avoiding overthinking. 
• How to include controlling your breathing and nervous systems in regular training. This is a dynamic practical setting where you will apply the skills you have learned in real time.  

WHAT TO EXPECT: 

This is a challenging workshop, and it needs to be, in order to teach you how to use your own internal body systems to better control your physiological and psychological response to stress/pressure situations. It is also a practical workshop, and we will be utilising a combination of in water pool-based work, beach training, gym sessions and class-based learning. 

Dave wood - Founder and Head Coach of Integrated Training will be running the course. We will have some key figures involved in this workshop – professionals in their field of performance. We only work with the best and you will receive their knowledge which will help to reinforce key themes pertaining to the workshop. 

Expect to be involved in a world leading workshop that delves deep into better understanding how to get the most out of your body and mind in order to take your mental and physical performance to another level. 

This is not a retreat, we do not offer accommodation over the weekend of the workshop.
