Sport & Breath Course

“The nearer a man comes to a calm mind, the closer he is to strength.”

Marcus Aurelius

Every athlete trains harder.  The smart ones train their breath — because that’s where the real gains hide.

After 30+ years working in sport, I get it — the pressure, the intensity, the need to stay calm when everything around you is anything but.

Breath work is one of the fastest, simplest ways to support performance, mindset, and recovery… and most athletes have barely scratched the surface.

Your nose and your breath are literal superpowers. When used properly, nose breathing improves oxygen exchange, endurance, nervous-system control, focus and resilience. And the best part?

Breath training can be seamlessly layered onto your existing programme without adding pressure or overwhelm.

Benefits

  • Science based training practice to build body and mind resilience for high pressure environments - breath protocols pre, during and post play

  • Build CO2 tolerance to handle stress, improve physical performance, delay fatigue and aid recovery

  • Breath techniques to support mindset and in game decision making

  • Excellent for injury recovery support - maintain and build CO2 tolerance and oxygen exchange with breath training reps. (reviewed case by case with staff.)

I collaborate with performance teams and athletes one-to-one or in group sessions across all sports including golf, cycling, swimming, running and rugby. Together, we build tailored breath training reps and protocols that match training cycles, goals and competition schedules.

It’s not about doing “more”. It’s about tuning in — and unlocking the capacity that’s already there.

  • “Working with Tricia reshaped how we think about breath. In a sport where you can’t nose-breathe in the pool, land-based breath training became our differentiator. Our swimmers understood it, controlled it, and used it — and it showed at BUCS.”

    Matt Trodden - Head Coach, Edinburgh University Elite Swim team

  • “Zero-breath reps felt easier and calmer than ever — even on the first attempt.”
