But we have sucked the joy out of the – and the potential out of – potentiation out of warm-up for sure.

But to your point –

When we're dripped in sweat.

So I coach at Cal Berkeley and I travel with the women's water polo team.

So I'm their performance director.

And our joke is like, I'm the health coach, right?

And sometimes that means I hand out snacks and sometimes that means I'm doing mobility work.

I'm helping them manage pain, but I also run the warmups and the sort of amongst other things.

And we'll be battling another team.

That team has their coats on and they're real stiff and not really trained to each other.

Our women are down to their sports bras.

We are battling and fighting, ready to go.

And I'm like, which team do you wanna be part of here?

And so we can really use that warmup time to connect, play, integrate, have fun,

And perform better because those tissues are better ready to go.

Changing your state.

I'm transitioning into now going from brain to meat.

Well, what we could start to say is, are we trying to meet all of your movement needs?

only by the time we get there.

So what we can start to say is, well, what does the rest of the day look like?
