EPISODE 72
Fight or Flight, Fear, and Muscle Memory, with NeuroScientist Dr. Vivian
Vivian has a PhD in neuroscience and explains the realities of a sympathetic nervous response.
While you don’t need to deep dive all of the science here, you do need to understand the tactical implications of a fight or flight response as it relates to training, perception, memory, and attention. Mike and Vivian discuss muscle memory, building good habits, perceptual distortions, and ways to enhance our performance under stress.
