Effect on Emotions

• Emotional
  regulation and trying to be that cold-blooded warrior, the player who
  has ice in their veins and isn't fazed by a big crowd of bright lights.

Thoughts on Breathing

• Taking
  slow, deep breaths, whether I'm stressed out, something goes wrong,
  something falls apart. Taking the deep breaths to get some perspective
  on the challenges I'm facing, but also just to help regulate my own
  emotions and get back to a more rational, focused state.

Advice for Newbie

I

would challenge them to take six great breaths every single day. What that means to me is, five seconds in through your nose, five seconds out. If you take six great breaths of ten seconds each, that's one minute out of your day.
