Preparing to compete on the biggest stages in the world of sport is not only a matter of training your body to realize its maximum potential, but also a matter of training your mind to overcome the challenges that you will inevitably face.<\/p>\n

Following his successful career on the international circuit, Martin turned his focus to developing a career emphasizing movement, philosophy and performance. In addition to being the 2016 Canadian Trainer of the Year and a Nike fitness trainer, Martin is a wellness speaker and is certified in Functional Range Conditioning and beyond.<\/p>\n

During the live session, Martin will provide tips and strategies on how to stay mentally strong on and off the field of play, using a philosophical approach backed by scientific research. As always during the Expert Connection<\/strong><\/em>, Martin will then respond to your questions sent through the registration and during the live session using the chat feature of the Panam Sports Channel.<\/p>\n

To conclude this beneficial conversation, Martin will lead everyone who is watching through a 15-minute breath work session that will provide useful strategies to control breathing that can be used before and during training or competitions.<\/p>\n
