216 Self-Care: How to Prioritise Rest and Recovery #BITESIZE

Commitment is the ability to make and keep our promises which some people can find difficult. Especially as our journeys are often littered with challenges whether that is injuries, loss of form, loss of confidence or technical difficulties. In these moments, some athletes work harder but not smarter. Some cultures promote this "you've just got to work harder" attitude too and ignore the importance of rest and recovery.

Therefore, this short bite sized episode, is all about educating you on why rest and recovery can aid your performances. Where well-esteemed strength and conditioning coach, Nick Grantham, talks about rest and recovery and how you can go about prioritising methods to help you stay in peak condition in the long term and be able to keep those promises that you made to yourself.

Essential Learning Points

  • In team sports an individual's needs can sometimes be overlooked.
  • It's important to understand if your recover strategies are working for you.
  • Coaches should prioritise athlete input and collaboration for optimal performance.
  • Providing athletes with autonomy in recovery choices can increase motivation and self-belief.
  • Nick developed the Recovery Pyramid with Mark Jarvis to provide a logical structure for recovery interventions in sports.
