The NCAA's Most Dedicated Broadcaster Shares His March Madness Wellness RoutineSeth Davis talks long flights, quick lifts and the power of meditation in a first-person account. Click here to read his full routine. On the first day I walk into the Warner Brothers Discover studios in Atlanta to cover the NCAA tournament, I find the stage manager, bring him or her into a small dressing room with a couch and a comfortable chair, and say, “If you can’t find me, I’m probably in here meditating.” This is important on several levels. First, it means I’ve found a quiet, secluded place to meditate. Très importante. Second, if something unexpected happens and I need to be on air, I can be found. Third, knowing that I have an emergency plan in place, I can fully relax and get into my zone of bliss. Those opportunities will be few and far between the next few weeks. I need to maximize them. This will be my 20th year covering the tournament for CBS and WBD (formerly Turner Sports). When people ask me how I prepare, they are referring to studying up on all those teams. Instead, I respond by talking about my wellness regimen. I cover this sport year-round; it’s not like I start cramming a few days before Selection Sunday. The more important prep is making sure I am mentally and physically ready for the grind. |
