He highlights the necessity of activating the parasympathetic nervous system to achieve clarity and calm, and relates this to a spiritual practice of trusting God. Ronnie shares personal experiences of overcoming injuries and emphasizes that true strength and best performance often come from moments of stillness and peace. He offers practical steps to cultivate this stillness, including silence, breathing exercises, and prayer. The devotional concludes with a prayer and encouragement to other athletes to find balance and strength in their faith.
