EP 009: Talent's Not Enough, Why Elite Athletes Need To Optimize Their Circadian Biology

“There's no exercise that you can teach what you learn on the streets,” explains Taylor Davidson, Founder of Football Entangled. After experiencing a sports-related stress fracture, Taylor became fascinated by human health, leading him down the road of quantum biology. Today, guest host Jason Oke and Taylor discuss why athletes need to improve their circadian rhythm for peak athletic performance.

Through Football Entangled, Taylor works with footballers to overcome injuries and maximize their talent through the principles of quantum biology. He has built his system around three pillars: your mitochondrial health, your internal foundation (athletic ability), and the game itself. By putting yourself in the right environment for optimal vitality, you will be surprised at how much better you will be. Although many people only take things seriously when making a financial investment, the best changes for our fitness are free, such as natural sunlight. By looking at athletes from poorer countries, who do not have access to fancy cleats or programs, you can see the benefits of simply playing outside, learning from the competition, and understanding how your body actually functions.

You need to get outside whether you play football, soccer, or any sport. When you’re outside, you not only improve your mitochondrial health, but you can be in a position to learn on the field. Although there are exercises and drills you can always do, learning from playing is how you get to a high level of performance.

Quotes
“Every little step got me more and more understanding of quantum health and mitochondrial function and how the human body works from a base level.” (4:20-4:34 | Taylor)
“That first pillar, the inner furnace, is really controlling your environment and putting yourself in the best spot for optimal health and vitality. And it is hard sometimes when I'm working with like professional athletes because they're so ingrained into what they know. But at the same time, those guys also have a lot of freedom because of their finances. And contrary to common thought, those pro athletes do have a lot of time on their hands. So they, they, they really do have the ability to apply these things if they choose to. So a lot of times, it's just getting them by mentally over the, over the stump, and like buying in.” (12:19-13:06 | Taylor)
“When people make an investment in themselves, then the change is a lot easier to come by as opposed to how often people don't act on the free stuff they have around. Once they make a financial investment, then it's easy for them to make make a change in their life.” (15:24-15:45 | Taylor)
“Strength is not just about how much you can lift in a certain pattern, but the result of the whole being integrated, not just how big the parts are.” (25:19-25:35 | Taylor)
“There's no exercise that you can teach what you learn on the streets. The only way you can learn that is by actually doing it and being exposed to all the different levels of talent and ability on the field of competition, which then molds you and pushes you to adapt and overcome.” (28:23-28:46 | Taylor)
“You get the biggest output of actionable knowledge by what you learn on the field in competition because you get taught what works and what doesn't work really quick.” (36:24-36:38 | Taylor)
“I'm not a doctor or a scientist, but I've been able to take mountains of knowledge and then apply it at a very high level of performance.” (36:47-36:59 | Taylor)
