Recently I had the opportunity to talk eastern medicine with Mike Guadango. After a intro how Mike got into training, we dive right into where the idea of acupuncture came from. This leads us down the rabbit hole of what acupuncture has taught him about what we, as coaches, can do better. Many of these issues revolve around our need to prove our worth, driving us to push athletes further then may be required for elite performance. These lessons stem from his time working with elite and pro athlete’s and seeing how doing work with them to feel better was more impactful for performance then any key performance indicators we tie to training. We finish off discussing the role of teaching skills in training, and where we may or may not truly make an impact. Make sure you check out the Mike and Brooker show:
