How does a healthy brain influence performance, recovery, and daily life? This engaging and dynamic session, led by experts in brain health, explores the critical role of brain health in achieving excellence. The panel discussion introduces the science to optimize brain function, enhancing peak performance, accelerating recovery, and building resilience in both high-pressure environments and everyday life.
