Health and Performance

“The biggest benefit from our training is the mental strength built from managing stress levels. Everyone has a certain amount of anxiety when they go underwater and has the urge to come up for a breath of air, but understanding their limitations and controlling that stress and anxiety build strength that directly translates to other parts of their lives.” - Don Tran
