Practice Optimized Recovery

If you are looking to stretch the boundaries of your potential, optimized recovery is the game changer. Recovery is often the least planned and most underutilized tool to optimize performance. While it’s not automatic, and it’s not a beer in the bathtub (sorry), you can activate recovery when you need it most and make a real impact in less than 5 minutes a day.

Just like the secret to improved output in your sport is consistency, the secret to improved recovery is also consistency. Practice.

You can use the free A4Y Practice Plan to outline your own plan each week — or use Erin’s Optimized Recovery Practice Plan below! This plan will guide you through all the tools of mental focus training and physical relaxation practices and you will feel the difference by the end of the week. Keep going.
