Raising Athletes

Episode #15: Gary Trudell

Today we discuss a topic we often take for granted when we think of peak

performance, SLEEP. 

Gary Trudell, who’s family has owned the Custom Comfort Mattress Company

here in Southern California for the last 35 years, and who is a father of
three teen athletes himself, understands the importance 

of young athletes getting good sleep to not only help their growing bodies

produce much needed (HGH) Human Growth Hormone, but also to repair
injuries, to help 

the brain continue to develop and last but not least, to retain new

learning.

One of the fun facts about his company, is that they work with a lot of pro

athletes and because of their size, they have special requirements so they
make a special 8 x10’ bed to accommodate those 6’8” plus athletes. How cool
would that be to have one of those?

We spoke about the Five Ways Teen Athletes Suffer When You Don’t Get Enough

Sleep and the fascinating study of the Stanford men’s basketball team,
which shows the direct correlation between sleep and an increase in
performance, both on the field/court and in the classroom.

We wrap it up with Gary giving us some tips to help get to sleep faster and

then once you are asleep, to stay asleep longer. Our teenagers should be
getting 8-10 hours of sleep each night. And unlike your cell phone bill,
there are no “roll-overs”, if you miss it one night, it doesn’t help to
sleep twice as long the next

We learned a lot about importance of getting good Zzzz’s. Please enjoy!
