Why Is Recovery So Important For Your Athlete?
Why Is Recovery So Important?
When we don't get recovery right, our athletes have a big decrease in energy. I see it in the gym and get emails all the time about overuse injuries (heel pain, knee pain, wrist pain, elbow pain, lower back pain, etc.) which are all due to not recovering properly.
When we see recovery become a priority, all sorts of great things that happen!
1. Cells are able to store energy, which will give them lots of energy for the next practice
2. Their body will have the ability to adapt to training and go even above where they were at the start of training
3. Less anxiety, more mentally strong when they are getting fully recovered between practices
The biggest part of recovery (and the base of the Athletic Pyramid) is Nutrition and Hydration, eating the right foods at the right times, and hydrating.
The next step up on the pyramid and The BIGGEST Takeaway from this video: SLEEP
If under the age of 12, they NEED 10-12 hours of sleep EACH NIGHT
If over the age of 12, they NEED 8-10 hours of sleep EACH NIGHT
CHALLENGE:
I challenge you to make sleep priority and put it into practice. You may have to rearrange your schedule, but it is possible…It may be hard, but it's worth it!!! I guarantee you will see less injury and anxiety, and more energy, recovery and even super-compensation!
For the next 2 weeks, try it out, leave a comment or send a message and let me know so I can cheer you on and encourage you in this super IMPORTANT component of recovery…YOU GOT THIS!
