CO2 TACTICS
Your Skills Are Trained. Your Stress Capacity Isn't.

Grit. Measure It.
Train It.
Built For Pressure.

Grit isn't a personality trait — it's a capacity. Physical and mental. We measure it, we train it, and we build athletes who can access their skills when pressure is highest.

The Problem

Pressure doesn't break your skills.
It cuts off access to them.

When stress rises, CO₂ tolerance is overwhelmed. Breathing becomes fast and shallow. The nervous system shifts into survival mode.

In that state, the athlete disappears — replaced by a physiological reaction that has never been trained.

Here's what most people miss: grit isn't just mental — it's physical, and it's trainable. We measure it. We train it. The result: athletes built for pressure.

Athletes Built For Pressure
The Method

A Measurable System

Three steps. Two capacities — physical and mental. One outcome: skill that holds under pressure.

01
MEASURE
Physical · Mental

BOLT and MBT tests give you a precise baseline. Daily compliance and consistency turn it into a habit. You cannot improve what you cannot measure.

02
TRAIN
Physical · Mental

Breathing protocols raise your stress ceiling. Focus and composure drills build the habits that hold under pressure. Two capacities. One system.

Tap to learn more ↓
03
PERFORM
Physical · Mental

Composure holds. Decisions stay sharp. Skills remain accessible. The athlete who shows up in practice shows up when it counts.

The Framework

Two Paths.
One Choice.

What determines the outcome is whether the body has been trained to handle pressure.

Without Stress Capacity Training
PRESSURE RISES
A high-stakes moment arrives. The body responds before the mind does.
STRESS RESPONSE ACTIVATES
CO₂ accumulates. Breathing becomes fast. Heart rate spikes.
NERVOUS SYSTEM OVERWHELMED
Fight-or-flight floods the system. Thinking narrows.
LOSS OF SKILL ACCESS
Trained skill becomes inaccessible. The athlete disappears.
PERFORMANCE DROPS
The moment passes. Potential was there. Access wasn't.
The CO₂ Tactics Method
MEASURE
BOLT and MBT tests establish your precise CO₂ tolerance baseline.
TRAIN
Targeted protocols build CO₂ tolerance. Stress ceiling rises.
ADAPT
The nervous system recalibrates. Composure becomes the new baseline.
PERFORM
Skills stay accessible under pressure. The trained athlete is the competitive athlete.
The Core Insight

Athletes lose access to their skills under pressure because stress capacity has never been trained. CO₂ Tactics is the first structured system to address this — measurably.

The Founders

Founded by Athletes Who Lived It

James Jones
James Jones
Former MLB Outfielder · Seattle Mariners
Co-Founder · CO₂ Tactics

James reached the majors as a center fielder with the Seattle Mariners, part of fifteen professional seasons that also took him through the Los Angeles Dodgers organization. An outfielder's career is long stretches of stillness broken by moments that demand everything at once — that gap between waiting and executing is where pressure does its damage.

Matt Magill
Matt Magill
Former MLB Pitcher · Dodgers, Reds, Twins, Mariners
Co-Founder · CO₂ Tactics

Matt pitched in the majors for the Dodgers, Reds, Twins, and Mariners over a fifteen-season professional career — every outing a chain of isolated, fully exposed decisions on the mound. He knows from the inside what separates how an arm works in the bullpen from how it works with the game on the line.

The Science

Grounded in Science.
Validated by Research.

Stress capacity is a measurable, trainable system — physical and mental. CO₂ tolerance, nervous system regulation, focus, and emotional control are all variables we can baseline, train, and improve.
