PERFORMANCE BREATHWORK & COACHINGHelping you stay cool when things get spicy
Train the kind of calm that helps you think clearly, recover faster, and trust your training when things get tricky.
Pressure gets to all of us. Usually when we could really do without it.
You’ve done the training. You know the plan. You’re ready to go.
Then the pressure ramps up, the terrain gets technical or one mistake knocks you out of rhythm. Suddenly you’re holding your breath, clenching your jaw, and turning one moment of doubt into a full crisis meeting in your head.
Decisions get rushed. Small mistakes start stacking up. It takes longer to recover when something goes wrong.
And instead of using the skills you already have, you end up fighting the pressure as well as the challenge in front of you.
That’s not a lack of grit or ability. How you respond under pressure deserves as much training as the rest of the job.
Because Type 2 Fun is better with a steady head
I’m Elissa — a performance breathwork coach, special mission pilot, adventure rider and committed fan of doing hard things for fun.
The hardest decisions I’ve made haven’t happened in a quiet room. They’ve happened at take-off, flying low level in foreign airspace, halfway up a steep climb and after a fall — when getting back on felt like the least appealing option available.
With more than 5,000 flight hours and nine years as a captain, I’ve learned how quickly fear can take the controls, even when you’re capable and prepared.
Breathwork helps me reset, find my focus and make the next decision well. I use it in the cockpit, on muddy trail rides, before rallies and while considering whether Red Bull Romaniacs should be my next terrible awesome idea!
