Hey, I'm Ryan Flairity, Senior Director of Performance at Nike.

I trained some of the world's best athletes, like Russell Wilson, Marcus Mariotta, and Serena

Williams.

At Nike, we believe that greatness isn't born.

It's trained.

Training is more than just a workout.

Each episode will bring you conversations with leading experts in what we call the five

facets of training.

Movement, recovery, sleep, nutrition, and mindset.

Today, we're focusing on how mindfulness can transform your performance.

You're listening to trained, presented by Nike.

I think everyone assumes that when I do a work with athletes, it's all about performance

and it's focused and it's motivation.

But we only have one mind.

The mind that we experience at home is the mind that we take on to the core or the field

or the track.

And the mind that we experience there is the mind that we take home with us.

So when we train in mindfulness, it's really not just about one aspect of life.

That's Andy Puttacom, the co-founder and voice of Headspace, the wildly successful meditation

app.

Andy has changed the mindfulness industry.

Before Headspace, meditation wasn't all that common.
