And then I may ask a question to the coach. What puts paying bums in the seats in the stadium? And they'll say, well, what do you mean? And I said, well, it's that player that we're talking about. That player is magical for the 18 minutes that they play because they're sparky, they're explosive.

If we train them and they have a plastic physiology and neurology that we can train so that they can last 27 minutes, you realize that you're trading off the explosiveness. you cannot have a really high VO2 max and be maximally explosive. They're competing mechanisms. One's a fast twitch mechanism for speed and explosiveness. And the other one is an endurable physiology.

And you trade one for the other. So do you really want to compromise that explosiveness And you see this when you're on a team getting a combat athlete ready. If they are neurologically explosive, you design the fight and the training that they pretty much have to win in the first round. And if they don't win in the first round, they're going to gas out.

And the person who is preparing to compete against them is training to survive the first round. And then come on in the second. So they're training endurance. To compare those two different athletes from a psychological point of view, and if you do it enough, I think you'll come to agree with me. And you will notice that there is how you coach them. It has to be in short, consumable bites.

And it's not that they're any more or less intelligent. They get it. but you have to be on cue and choose your words, be efficient. Do you see what I mean? The coaching style changes quite a bit.

It depends and it's a dance. So I can give you some examples. One chapter in my back mechanic book is called, well, it's about surgery and should you have surgery? We did this because as you know, in our experimental clinic at the university, we followed up with every patient we ever saw. We would assess them, and then we would subcategorize them into different bins.

If a person was told, you've tried everything, you've been to the chiropractor, you've been to the physical therapist, the osteopath, you've had a surgical consult, you've been to the psychologist, et cetera, and you failed every single one of them. So basically, you've been conditioned to fail. We tried a process called virtual surgery. So I'm defining the group now.
