Re: Observed blackouts

From what I have seen, 3 minutes seems to be the average duration of the spasm. Prior to that, artificial respiration can be difficult or impossible. Tom's spasm in 2003 was 3 minutes after video review.

I don’t claim to know what it will be like to be in your position, but I know that when you leave here, grades will be handed out differently. Your ability to gauge your success will largely depend on how you perceive it. You can shape it, set it up, feel it, and define it. Allow competition to turn inward. Do not depend on awards, money, or other validations." -Jonny Moseley
