“The body-brain loop works both ways. Just as physical conditioning shores up the brain’s performance, the reverse can also be true: a mental drain can impact muscular endurance.

Another study of twenty-one young boxers showed that too much time on phones playing video games affected their speed reactions in the ring.”

“There are certain inevitabilities. You will grow older. You will be forced to compromise in ways you never imagined and confront problems you thought you were immune to. You will find a job, and perhaps lose it. You will fight with your mate, shoulder unwanted responsibilities and cope with rank unfairness. You can allow all that to demoralize you. Or you can let it shape youâ€� and trust that the shape will be more interesting because of it.”
