Continuing our Foundations for Optimal Living theme for this month on the ABCA Podcast is CEO and Founder of AIM7, Dr. Erik Korem. Erik played football at Texas A&M. He covered a lot of ground in the football world after graduating. He has traveled all over the world studying elite performance. He was in the NFL for 15 years as Sports Scientist and High-Performance Director. He was at William & Mary for 2 years as Associate Athletics Director for Student-Athlete Performance. And he also participated in the Presidential Leadership Scholars Program. This Episode is a deep dive into Sleep and High Performance. You can directly link mental and physical health issues to lack of sleep. Conversely, you can also link high performance to quality sleep. This was also Dr. Korem’s first experience with the ABCA Convention, so we get his thoughts on how everything went. This episode is sponsored by our friends at Rapsodo.
