Staying in top shape and performing at your best isn't just about the workout—it's about how well you recover too. Recovery is key to letting your body rebuild and adapt between workouts, especially for elite athletes who push themselves to the limit. Proper recovery includes things like sleep, nutrition, and using tools like massage guns or compression boots. Let’s break down a few of these strategies.

Sleep
One of the easiest ways to improve your performance is by getting enough quality sleep. Athletes, especially at a high level, often struggle with this due to busy schedules, travel, and jet lag. But sleep is vital for repairing muscles, replenishing energy, and helping you feel ready for the next workout. Most people need 7-9 hours, but athletes may need more due to their intense physical demands. Here are a few tips for getting better sleep:

💤 Keep your bedroom cool (around 69 degrees).
💤 Use blackout curtains or a sleep mask.
💤 Avoid heavy meals or intense exercise right before bed.

Recovery Tools
Tools like percussion massagers (such as the Hypervolt or Theragun) and compression boots (like Normatec) are gaining popularity for recovery.

💪🏽 Percussion Massagers: These can help reduce muscle soreness, especially after tough workouts. They may even reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which is that deep soreness you feel 24-48 hours after working out. The massagers work by applying pressure and vibration to alleviate pain and help your muscles recover faster.

💪🏽 Compression Boots: These boots are designed to speed up recovery by boosting blood flow, helping to remove lactic acid, and reducing muscle inflammation. Basically, they mimic the benefits of active recovery without you having to do any extra work!

Incorporating these tools, along with getting proper rest, can make a big difference in your overall performance and help you bounce back faster between workouts. If you're unsure how to use these methods effectively, reaching out to an expert can help tailor a plan that's right for you!

With football, soccer, and golf seasons in full swing, it's important to focus on the key elements that help athletes perform at their best. These sports require a lot of rotational force, so having the right mobility, control, and power to move efficiently from the lower body to the upper body is crucial. Not only does this help improve performance, but it also prevents injuries.

For rotational athletes, here are some key areas to assess:

Mobility: Thoracic spine, lumbar spine, pelvis, hips, and shoulders
Stability: Hips and core
Neuromuscular control: Hips and core
Strength: Hips, core, and upper body
Movement patterns: Rolling
One common issue is the difficulty athletes have with dissociating movement between the spine, pelvis, and hips. Exercises like lumbo-pelvic-hip complex dissociation and rolling patterns can help address this and improve overall mobility. Another great move is the T-spine rotation with rib grab, which helps stretch and increase mobility in both the hips and shoulders.

Stay active, stay healthy, and enjoy your sport! If you're dealing with any pain or limited mobility, a physical therapist can help you get back on track.

Warming up is one of those things we know we need to do, but often don’t want to. It’s easy to feel like warm-ups are a waste of time, especially if they’re not specific to your sport. The trick is to keep them short, focused, and effective. A good warm-up prepares you for the specific movements of your sport—whether that’s sprinting, jumping, or cutting.

Here’s a quick warm-up you can use, whether it’s for practice or off-season training:

🏃🏽‍♂️ Jog down and back
🏃🏽‍♂️ Forward skips with arm circles
🏃🏽‍♂️ Backward skips with arm circles
🏃🏽‍♂️ Side shuffles with jumping jack arms
🏃🏽‍♂️ Easy butt kicks forward and backward
🏃🏽‍♂️ Carioca
🏃🏽‍♂️ Acceleration runs
🏃🏽‍♂️ Stationary leg swings (front/back and side to side)
🏃🏽‍♂️ High knees and butt kicks combined with acceleration runs
🏃🏽‍♂️ 30-yard acceleration run at 75% effort

This warm-up helps build muscle resilience and improve on-field performance. It’s also a great way to reduce the risk of injury. Nordic hamstring curls are popular for injury prevention, but research shows that safely reaching top speed is even more effective for both injury prevention and performance.
