besides diving technique, what physiological or mental traits make some freedivers which do not appear athletic body-wise, exceptional freedivers. The majority of those who excel are thin or have low BMI, but I am aware of some guys that that don't have the stereotypical freediver figure (flabby have a gut, etc) that are very good freedivers. They've obviously figured something out that I have not. I've always taken the train hard, eat well approach and hope that this results in freediving gains, but I feel like I might be missing something when I observe people like I'm asking about.
