Why do athletes sniff smelling salts? Dak Prescott swears by them. Jeremy Roenick called them an instant shock to the brain. Even Terry Bradshaw used them after taking big hits. But what do they really do? They fire up your fight or flight response, making you feel more alert and focused. They don’t make you stronger or faster they just jolt your nervous system into high gear. Smelling salts are FDA approved for fainting but their use in sports has sparked some controversy. I used them in the NFL would you? #football #athletelife #sportsperformance #mindset #footballlife #strengthandconditioning #footballplayers #athletementality #smellingsalts #gridiron #fitness #mentaltoughness #nfl #adrenaline #footballseason #sports #footballtraining #focus #explosiveness #preworkout #footballgrind #offensiveline #linemanlife #performanceedge #gamechanger #nfl
