This episode gets a little more complicated, Jarrett and I discuss the function of the nervous system and its basic functions.  This is important to know because this is the powerhouse of the body, without the nervous system life for humans may not even exist.

We discuss the importance of the autonomic nervous system and the main focus of the sympathetic and parasympathetic side.  We are simply just setting up the ground work for further discussions around training and life because we believe the foundation of so much of our existence is tied within the nervous system. 

We also touch on the task positive and task negative brain networks, what they are, how they came to be, and the relevance and importance of your sense of self and how it impacts your training.  

Its a deep one, but crucial for understanding what comes next.  

All the love, Deeproots Athletics
