Pro-doping Olympics, new research on Cold exposure helping with PTSD, and the all-in-one $160,000 superhuman recovery pod.
Introducing the Enhanced Games—The Pro-doping Olympics
Enhanced Games is pioneering a new era in athletic competition that embraces scientific advancements to push the boundaries of human performance. Scheduled for Memorial Day weekend 2026, the inaugural spectacle promises track, swimming, and weightlifting events.
Playbook Take — I find this fascinating. A lot of innovations in sports science previously came from human desire to win a competition. I think people cared more about athletes breaking the rules than the actual use of PEDs. Watching Lance Armstrong dominate year after year. Barry Bonds hitting baseballs into the ocean was pure entertainment and superhuman performance. Athletes are now free to pursue the highest level of performance that can be obtained with modern science. I hope this entertains millions and flows into additional sports.
Cold Water Immersion Research
The first clinical research on CWI (Cold Water Immersion) and its efficacy in treating PTSD from Grey Team and ChillShark is underway. Here is what they found. Cold Water Immersion demonstrates measurable, positive effects on cardiac function and autonomic balance in military veterans.
Playbook Take — I love seeing brands not only sell products but help build the science and research around them to move the space forward.
