Do you feel slow, half awake, or unfocused in the morning? Or maybe you grab your phone upon waking, get lost in it, and then end up scrambling to get ready?

So did I.

I STRUGGLED with being alert, focused and feeling good physically. Upon waking, I would check my phone, then rush to make coffee and get to practice. These practices were… unproductive - to say the least.

In order to qualify for the Games, I needed to break my own National Record by 3 meters / 10 feet. If I wanted a shot at making the team, mastering my mornings was a non-negotiable.

Over the last decade, I have studied, tested, refined my morning routine to produce an optimized mental and physiological state - in 15-20 minutes. I call it my "minimum effective dose" routine.

I tell the incredible story of how I made my first Olympics after a devastating injury using morning routines, and together we’ll actively go through each step:

  1. Drinking water, mixed with Salt & lime

  2. Reclaiming Your Blank Slate - choosing your first thoughts

  3. Meditating - 1 minute
