Forge Your Inner Armor - Gregory Smith - Bog

You are a miracle, and your brain is the most dazzling part of it. Even on your worst day, your brain is still the most amazing thing in the universe. You are capable of so much more than you imagine! With a stronger brain-body connection, you could perform closer to your potential in school, sports, work, or the tasks of daily life. Improving the neurophysiology of that connection is the key to consistent achievement. Dr. Timothy Royer has analyzed thousands of brains, working with everyone from professional athletes to schoolchildren. In Forge Your Inner Armor, he explains that your autonomic nervous system (ANS) is the unconscious control center that regulates everything from how fast your brain runs to how well your organs operate. You can only perform at your potential if the ANS is in the right gear. But the good news is that while you can't control your ANS, you can train it. You can keep your body from living in fight-or-flight mode, manage stress, and perform with greater sensory precision, muscular power, and mental focus. A strong ANS is like an inner armor, making you dynamically resilient to life's challenges in whichever arenas you perform. Dr. Royer, or "Doc" as he is known, is the co-founder of Royer Neuroscience and Inner Armor. He has worked extensively with athletes in the NFL, NBA, PGA and LPGA Tour, and professional tennis, and Division 1 NCAA teams, including assessing or training a dozen of the NFL's current starting quarterbacks. He and co-author Greg Smith host the Inner Armor Podcast, available on all major podcast platforms.
