Pole Vault Band - Box Breathing
- In stock, ready to ship
This band helps regulate your overwhelming emotions with Box Breathing.
I mean, it's used by the Navy Seals to improve their performance! Low and behold it works for pole vaulters too!
Think of box breathing as a technique to reset for when your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations become overwhelming.
Where box breathing can help
- Stuck running through
- Overwhelmed at big meets
- Stuck with Negative self-talk
- performance anxiety
- Moving up poles
- And more.
The first time I tried it was at a big meet, with a big bar, and I was feeling big pressure. When I was waiting for my turn I did a few rounds of box breathing and when I stepped on the runway I felt calm and focused like I was driving, instead of my emotions at the wheel.
Since then I've taught this technique to my athletes for their meets, through practices, or to use off the track.
I can't recommend box breathing enough on and off the runway.
How to do it
- Breath in through your nose with your eyes closed for 4 seconds
- Hold that breath for 4 seconds
- Breathe in for 4 seconds
- Hold for 4 seconds
- Do at least 4 rounds
