Critical Recovery – The Anti Ice Movement Ep 25-7

The Number One Priority to Maximize Athlete & Player Performance is RECOVERY.

Athlete and Player development is all about problem solving. Maximizing performance and future development relies on recovery.

Yes, you need quality training, you need quality technical and tactical preparation, you need quality competition, but all of this is only as good as an Athlete’s/Player’s state of Recovery – their state of Readiness.

A few weeks back at our MLB European Spring Tournament where we had 90 players from 14 countries, age 15-20 years, come together in Spain to showcase their talents for Major League teams a players asked me if I use ice with my athletes back home. My answer – No we do not.

I went on to explain why we don’t use ice to a group of players and coaches who were surprised, uncertain and even alarmed because they have been taught all their careers that ice is part of the process.

In this episode we problem solve recovery, ice and maximizing readiness in sport as we talk with Krush Favorite: Gary Reinl, Researcher, Investigator and Educator.

How important is recovery…..The Most Important!

“Rather than figuring out how much training you can stand, INSTEAD, figure out how little you need.”

We don’t know how good an athlete can be and if an athlete gives it everything they have and does not quite get there because they just were not good enough, that is 100% okay, I respect that.

BUT if an athlete does NOT get there because they have been mismanaged… well that is 100% UNACCETABLE!

If you want to maximize your performance, reduce your risk of injury and raise your ceiling of performance you MUST recalibrate you’re thinking and understand that recovery is the most important variable when you are Creating Coachable Players.
