3 mistakes athletes make at the end of their fall season.
1) letting nagging injuries linger-
Take care of anything that’s dinged up, most times 2 weeks of some physical therapy and rest will heal up nagging issues ensuring they won’t continue or become bigger problems.
2) hitting the weight room full force-jumping back into a full strength cycle can really lead to setbacks. Your body needs a hypertrophy phase to build its muscle back up to be able to handle the rigors of a proper strength training cycle. Work on form and full range of motion in all movement patterns. Keep sets in the 7-12 rep range for the first 2-4 weeks to build your armor back up.
3) sitting around doing nothing - some athletes shut it down completely post season. While athletes do need to rest to get their bodies recovered 3 to 4 days of active rest with walking , stretching , foam rolling should be enough.
Get your 8-10 hrs sleep and get your nutrition back on track.
