Joe Mazzulla on the benefits of heart rate variability (yes, really!)

Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla has made a name for himself for marching to a different drummer as an NBA coach, and a recent interview for the “Knowledge Project” podcast on which Mazzulla joins health and performance psychologist Dr. Leah Lagos to talk about the importance of heart rate variability (HRV) to athletes and people in general is not likely to shake up that perspective, as interesting as it is.

In the pod, they emphasize that HRV is a critical biomarker of resilience, affecting an individual’s ability to respond to stress effectively. Dr. Lagos explains that a higher HRV indicates better control over the autonomic nervous system, which is crucial for optimal performance.
