Two-time NBA All-Star Pascal Siakam – mental recovery

"It's important for the mind and body to be able to rest and have some time for yourself." While the idea that you need to stay active and consistently push your limits to achieve your goals might sound correct, during this episode of Mind Set Win, we learn how recovery is also key to our satisfaction levels. NBA All-Star Pascal Siakam knows a thing or two about winning and how crucial finding a balance between recovery and training is. In this interview, Pascal talks about life in the relentless NBA, what it takes to stay at the top and play almost every single night, and Toronto Raptors’ 2019 Championship triumph. In a bid to understand how to avoid mental overload, hosting duo Cédric and York take a look at the science behind how beta brainwaves stimulate your brain and alpha brainwaves help it relax and recharge. They then look at what daily activities we can do that focus on enhancing alpha waves and reducing the mental load on our brain. This includes things like reading, cooking, talking to your favourite people, listening to music or a podcast, yoga or meditation. Have a listen and see if one of the activities might work for you!
