A Ladle a Day:  Applied Psychophysiology and the grey area of Human Performance with Dr. Curtis Wildes, PhD, ATC. 

Join Doc's Sarah & Alyse for a laid-back conversation about applied psychophysiology and its role in human performance! Dr. Curtis Wildes is by far the most bad ass athletic trainer to roam the earth and has truly stretched the boundaries of athletic training in every good way possible.  We get nerdy about psychophysiology and it's role in shaping neuroplasticity, how mental health disease's can be looked at as a symptom vs a death sentence, and the cruciality of removing all the negatives to get to the highest level in your performance. We discuss the keys to unlocking your fullest potential as well as both the benefits and challenges with motivation. We touch on the vitalness of HPO team integration (sensing a theme here yet?), how building in incremental steps = success and what a high performance model TRULY is. 

If you are a provider in HPO or a tactical and/or high-performance athlete, THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU!
