Nazareth Academy Activates for Success
In my years working with the Nazareth football team, I have seen for myself the tangible results that Self Activation Technique has had on the whole team. A recent article at Bergsworld.live tells the story. This technique is a true game-changer. Read the Article...Here’s how one runner beat his personal records – one belly breath at a time.
I never grow tired of hearing real-life stories about the immediate difference SAT techniques produce. I asked student athlete Dan Santino, from St. Ignatius High School in Chicago, to share his experience with SAT in his own words. “This fall, I was really excited to run my senior season of cross county. I even set a goal of earning my first All-State honor. The season started off pretty well, but my performance at times seemed to plateau. Maybe it was a combination of muscle soreness in my back and just needing to get to the next level, but I didn’t quite know how to improve. After investigating the SAT process, I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Tom. Looking back, I was skeptical for sure, but was willing to try anything for the sake of improvement. I distinctly remember the muscle-testing results before activation, and then seeing them after. Immediately after activation, I felt loose. There was no tightness, and I felt peaceful after “belly breathing.” The next day we had an invitational race, and I felt the best and was the most focused during that race. I ended up finishing 5th, right behind some of the nation’s best runners, 7 seconds off my personal best. I became a believer as the results were seen immediately for me! As the season progressed with activation and SAT, I gutted out some races and achieved personal records to include Chicago Catholic League Champion, IHSA Regional Champion, and finally I earned my first All-State honor in cross country, placing 24th at the state meet. Activation techniques will be a constant part of my routine from now on.” How is activation a part of your routine?

Diaphragmatic breathing is the key to your skeletal and muscular systems
Want better athletic performance? Want fewer injuries? Want to walk taller, feel stronger and move more easily in everything you do?
You can have it in a breath. But it’s got to be the right kind of breath.
Diaphragmatic breathing is the key to your autonomic nervous system
Here’s an average day in the life of a high-school athlete. Some events are stressful – they activate the “fight or flight” part of your nervous system. Others are calming – they activate “rest and digest” part of your nervous system.
Guess which one happens more?
