Whether you are a weekend warrior or a professional athlete, there are some basic considerations that will help you optimize your performance on the field or court. This involves more than just training and practicing. In this episode, we have a very special guest, Basu Shanker, the former strength and conditioning coach for the national cricket team of India. He has worked with elite athletes like Virat Kohli to help them take a full-body approach to enhancing performance and wellbeing. Basu talks about how competing in sports helps you learn how to lose in life and still get up to try again. He explains the role of a strength and conditioning coach and how appropriately balancing sleep, nutrition, and supplements can propel someone beyond their current physical limits.
