Here are some key points that I would advise you to concentrate on

• Always remember your current point need not always be your end point – you can change at any time.
• When one door closes, another opens and you can continue on a path you maybe hadn’t considered.
• Always be chasing that next level in your life, to keep that handbrake off in your life.
• You can train your breathing like any other skill.
• An improvement in your breathing can enhance your living systems and cognitive behavior with some work.
• Your breathing is a key system that keeps you alive, it can be dealt with by the body on auto-pilot but if you train your breathe more automatically you can become more efficient and skilled.
• At the moment, there are a lot of athletes who are not working on improving their breathing system, so take advantage of their short-comings and upgrade the key performance area now before it becomes part of the mainstream training methodologies in all sports.
• Shallow breathing or panting is never a good thing, normally a sign of distress and panic.
• Better breathing can help you take in more oxygen each breath to help fuel you brain and movement.
• Better breathing can allow you to deal more efficiently with CO2.
• Better breathing can create better cognitive function.
• Better breathing can help you relax and reduce the level of stress you are feeling.
• Better breathing can be learnt at any age and will benefit everyone.
• By breathing quietly, it tends to make you breath slowly.
• Close your mouth, put the tongue to the top of the mouth and breath quietly the nose will change your life!
• Your brain will always go the path of least resistance.
• Just because something is automatic doesn’t mean its optimal.
• Breathing can be affected by the size of breath, the time held, the speed of inhaling and exhaling, how it is expelled etc.
• You need to breathe into your belly, not your chest.
• Learning to breathe better shouldn’t be complicated.
• Shallow breathing will not help you catch your breath better than long slow breaths.
•  Being seated or stressed can have a big impact on your body and in turn the quality of your breathing.
• Your posture and how you sit will affect the quality of your breathing and that in turn will affect how your health and body responds to the quality of breathing and quality of air you take in.
• Stress causes will always be there, so we need to build a skill to deal with them, and better breath control and quality of breathing is the key.
• Exercise is a great method to check the quality of your breathing. You shouldn’t be out of breath going up stairs!
