    Welcome back to the NeuroVision Podcast, where we explore the mindset, discipline, and life experiences behind high-level performance.

    In today’s episode, we are honored to sit down with Richard Torres Sr., one of California’s most respected veteran boxing coaches and a cornerstone of American amateur boxing culture.

    With decades of experience inside the ring and in the corner, Coach Torres has dedicated his life to mentoring young fighters, shaping champions, and using boxing as a tool for transformation. Known not only for his technical expertise but also for his deep commitment to discipline, structure, and character-building, Richard Torres Sr. represents the kind of old-school wisdom that is becoming rare in modern sports.

    He is also the founder and leader of one of the most storied boxing programs in the region, having trained generations of athletes, many of whom credit him not just for their success in boxing, but for helping them become stronger, more focused individuals outside the sport.

    As the patriarch of the Torres boxing family and the driving force behind a legacy that continues through his son, Olympic medalist Richard Torres Jr., Coach Torres brings an unmatched perspective on what it truly takes to develop fighters from childhood into champions.

    This episode is more than just a boxing conversatio, it’s a masterclass in mentorship, mental toughness, and the life lessons that combat sports teach at the deepest level.

    Coach Torres shares powerful insights on:

    🥊 The best age to start boxing
    🥊 How boxing builds discipline and confidence
    🥊 What separates champions from everyone else
    🥊 Lessons boxing teaches outside the ring
    🥊 The role of family, mentorship, and mindset in success

    Whether you're a parent, athlete, coach, or boxing fan, this episode is packed with wisdom that applies far beyond sports.

    Athletes don’t lose games because they “aren’t tough.” They lose because their brain isn’t recovering.

    In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Joe DiDuro to talk about the stuff most athletes, parents, and even coaches miss: attention and reaction time, the real meaning of brain fog, what sleep is doing to your performance, and why repeated head impacts can quietly stack into long-term issues like CTE.

    If you’re a college athlete, a parent of a youth athlete, a sports med professional, or just someone who wants sharper focus and faster decision-making—this is the episode you’ll want to replay.

    Most athletes believe perfect vision means 20/20. That belief is quietly holding them back.

    In this episode of the NeuroVision Edge Podcast, Dr. Shah is joined by elite performance coach Ryan Beckwith to expose the biggest vision myths limiting speed, reaction time, and clutch performance in modern athletes.

    Dr. Shah, a leading authority in sports neurovision, breaks down how screen exposure, eye dominance, and poor binocular function are training the brain to fail under pressure. Ryan Beckwith brings the performance lens, connecting vision training directly to speed mechanics, reaction, and game day execution at the highest levels.

    This conversation bridges neuroscience, elite athletic development, and real world application you can use immediately. If you coach, compete, or train seriously, this episode will change how you see performance forever.
