Stoic Philosophy for Deep Freediving

Stoic Philosophy for Deep Freediving

Stoic Philosophy for Deep Freediving is a reflection of how we can use Greek and Roman Stoic principles to train the mind for athletic performances. In freediving you take only one breath, so focus and awareness of your mind is key to success.

This article was written by Freedive Wire’s co-author Luca Malaguti for Alchemy Hellas. Luca is a professional freediving athlete and on the Alchemy Freediving & Spearfishing Team.

    I bring a degree in philosophy, a championship in hang gliding, and a long practice of meditation to a deep appreciation of this.
