“Stress is really not the enemy. It's the gateway to growth.” - Erik Korem
Key Takeaways:
Coaching: A good coach helps somebody unlock their potential or pull a roadblock out of the way. They identify what their client/athlete’s strengths and weaknesses are. Coaches and teachers, mentors, advisors, and co-creators. A coaching relationship is a two-way street. The coach helps clients create a better possible future. In the process, both the athlete/client elevate the realm of possibilities and potential of life and the goals set.
Adaptive Capacity: People who are the best in the world at what they do can adapt to tremendous levels of psycho-physiological stress. Part of it is genetic, and part of it is developed. So, just like any capability, people are wired with specific innate abilities, and they can constantly improve them. When someone exceeds their capacity to adapt to acute or chronic stress, they get injured, burn out, and develop physical and mental health issues. Adaptive capacity is training your stress responders so that your gas tank(resolve) is higher/bigger. This allows you to do more with less cost. Building this capacity involves five basic things: sleep, exercise, mental fitness, nutrition, and healthy relationships.
Allostasis for Adaptation: When your body tries to achieve stability through change. Allostatic load is the cost that is incurred whenever you experience a stressor. Your adaptive capacity gets bigger if you can build more capacity for more allostatic load. When that happens, what once was incredibly taxing is now your baseline. There is a limit to this, but most people have yet to get close to their absolute capacity. This is, again, psycho-physical. It's both the capacity of mental processing as well as physiological processing.
