Mark Healey is a professional big waver surfer, spear fisherman and bowhunter. In this episode we examine Mark’s thoughts and routines in those moments of high pressure – the one’s where he’s teetering on the edge of control/panic to find out how he finds a way to perform under pressure.

  • Breathing to improve performance, slow heart rate, enhance focus, and more
  • Performing at your best when you’re at less than 100%
  • Procuring our own meat through spearfishing and bowhunting
  • And much more!
