It really does add up!" -- Jay Wisner, NFL Free AgentThe Oxygen Advantage: the hottest book on the market for understanding breathing and breathwork. " -- David Jackson, School of Calisthenics podcast "The Oxygen Advantagehas helped my Olympians become more aware of their breathing. We practice nasal breathing during foam rolling, warm ups, cool downs and during certain prescribed exercise. I would highly recommend The Oxygen Advantageto any coach looking to get any additional benefit for their athletes. "-- Andrew Kacsor, Head Strength & Conditioning Coach for the KRS Vanke Rays"Mastering one of the most powerful mechanism in our body can have a tremendous impact on both well being and performance. Because we breathe 24/7, breath training is potentially endless. I have been looking for a technique that could effortlessly trigger diaphragmatic breathing to improve the mind/ body connection. Moving towards the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo, we have now integrated the Oxygen Advantage breathing techniques into our daily training and recovery. "-- Julien Billaut, Australian Canoeing and the New South Wales Institute of Sport Canoe Slalom High Performance Coach "I have taken the Oxygen Advantage Instructor course and can' t say enough good things about it! I have been taping my mouth for my strength training sessions as well as my Tactical training. I have been playing with the knowledge Patrick McKeown has so willingly shared and began experimenting with my team. The conditioning results have been exceptional but I expected that based on what I learned in the course. Using Oxygen Advantage for the reduction of stress in SWAT and other High Stress Law Enforcement activities is what I am most interested in now and I have a lot to work with thanks again to Patrick McKeown. For those out there who are considering taking the course do yourself a favor get off the fence and do it. Money well invested in your health!"-- Joey Williams, Patrol Lieutenant, SWAT Commander Responsible for Training, Berkeley, CA
