Breathing is something most of us every day. It's rare to think of breath structure. But if you could structure your breath to increase performance, would you? Dr. Mickra Hamilton brings her psychoacoustics expertise to talk about performance breathing.
[Babies] are barely breathing. They are barely moving air. They are in their belly. It's diaphragmatic. It's smooth. It's amazing. And then we hit puberty and we get all stressed and we start breathing in our chests
