In this episode on the Dialed Health podcast, I sit down with Vince Murdock, a professional MMA fighter and founder of Enjoy Cycling Club to discuss this exact thing.

Is your brain holding you back from peak performance? In this episode of the Dialed Health podcast, I am joined by Dr. Scott Frey of Cerebral Performance to dive into this very topic.  We discuss mental fatigue’s impact on athletic performance, how our brains act as a protective mechanism, limiting our output before we reach our true physiological limits, and science-backed techniques to use for pushing past these mental barriers. We also discuss practical tips like box breathing and mindfulness practices that can help athletes tap into their full potential. Scott H. Frey, Ph.D., Ed.M., an award-winning scientist, mentor, and lifelong endurance athlete, leads a research program that focuses on understanding the relationship between the brain and human performance.  Find more from Dr. Scott Frey: Website:  https://cerebralperformance.com/  Email: [email protected]    Find more from Derek Teel: Website: https://dialedhealth.com/  Instagram: @dialedhealth Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@dialedhealth  What We Discuss:  05:02 Scott Frey's background in psychology and neuroscience 08:15 How the brain limits athletic performance and perceived exertion 15:40 Mental fatigue and its impact on athletic performance 20:30 Strategies for mental recovery, including mindfulness and box breathing techniques 35:20 Sleep issues before races and how to manage pre-race anxiety 40:10 The role of confidence in athletic performance and dealing with imposter syndrome 45:30 Practical tips for implementing mental recovery techniques into daily routines 55:40 Project Tailwind and its goals
