Whens the last time you thought about breathing?
Rory mentioned this book in a podcast I broke down a couple weeks ago. Honestly it's been a crazy read. I had never heard most of these concepts.
"The smaller and less efficient lungs became, the quicker subjects got sick and died...larger lungs equaled longer lives.
"Our ability to breathe full breaths according to researchers, appears to be literally a measure of living capacity"
I'm halfway through and I think it's going on my recommendation list.

How Alex Fitzpatrick Fixed His Wedges
Alex struggled with getting his wedges to hit and stop on greens.
βI have a bad habit of chicken winging my left elbow,β he said. βThat makes a 60-degree turn into like a 45.β
The ball would launch too low and it wouldnβt stop on the green.
So, with the help of his coach Mark Blackburn and a GC Quad, he dug in. They started tracking three numbers: swing speed, dynamic loft, and carry distance. Thatβs when the problem became clear.
βEven if my speed was good every time, my dynamic loft was changing so much. I had no control of how far the ball was going to go.β
Alex started charting every shot. He built a system around four clear swing positions.
For each, he tracked how fast he swung, what dynamic loft he delivered, and how far the ball went. And he stopped guessing.
βSo Iβm trying to hit a hand-to-shoulder 56. Speed should be 66, loft should be about 42. That should go 83.β
The swing came in at 66 mph, 44 degrees of loft, and went 81 yards.
βTwo yards short, because the dynamic loft was too high. But I know why.β
And thatβs the shift... from guessing to understanding. From low spinners that run through the green to controlled flights that hold their number.
