Box breathing is a great tool for athletes to have at their disposal. Two main ways to utilize it. 

1. During competition - During a timeout, or a break in action, between plays, etc. Using 1-3 box breaths can help calm and slow down the body while delivering more oxygen to the body and enhancing carbon dioxide tolerance. 

2. Before bed - Again this will aid relaxation and stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system to better prepare the body for sleep. Aim for 10 breaths of box breathing and you'll be well on your way to better sleep.
