Monday Jul 24, 2023
Monday Jul 24, 2023
The Netflix Series “Quarterback” offers a fascinating look behind the scenes at the games, and lives, of three NFL quarterbacks: Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins, and Marcus Mariota. Dr. Royer has trained Cousins since his college days (Kirk was a guest on our last two episodes), but Doc has worked or is working with 11 of the 32 starting NFL QBs (as of the time of this episode).
In this episode, Doc explains the science behind finding a player capable of playing this position in the NFL. What do they look for? What do they measure? What are the differentiators that indicate a player might make it in this role? What does it take to develop their abilities? How does Doc and the Inner Armor system help them to reach their potential?
The lessons learned aren't just for elite athletes. Everyone, from children to adults in every field, can develop the ability to perform at their potential.

But not all learning is positive: we can learn bad habits, misinformation, and to interpret things through faulty lenses.
In this second episode on learning, Doc and Greg explore how to use opportunities to learn for positive growth.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder isn't as prominent in the media as it was 20 years ago, but a surprising number of children and adults are still diagnosed with ADHD and are on medication to treat it. Doctor Royer spent years researching and treating ADHD. He discovered an epidemic of misdiagnosis, in which legitimate symptoms were misattributed to ADHD, and the stimulants prescribed were exacerbating the symptoms.
