LONGEVITY: David "Jacko" Jackson (Professional Rugby/Breathwork Coach)

David Jackson is a Breath Work Coach for high performing athletes, based in Wales, UK. Previously he was a professional rugby player, but after a series of brutal head injuries he was forced to move on. He founded the highly successful “School of Calisthenics” before diving into the his now profession of breath work coach…

In this conversation we explore the concept of longevity, and the significance of failure as a learning opportunity. Jacko highlights the significance of physical intelligence, efficient movement, and proper breathing techniques in various physical activities, with a focus on the role of the rib cage, diaphragm, and airways. Lastly, we discuss the balance between longevity and pushing personal limits in elite sports, the tricky balance between - quite literally - go hard, or stay home.
