As an athlete, the basics work when it comes to your recovery..
However, whether you're looking for the extra percentages in your performance or you've seen the hype on social media, for one reason or another you've come across recovery tools and wondered, is that for me?
Oftentimes, as an athlete we can do things without thinking or just because someone else is doing it..
So in today's episode we work through some of most prominent recovery tools available to GAA athletes today and rank/rate them with the aim of creating more clarity on what they are, what they do and whether or not you can potentially look to include as a part of your recovery strategy
Expect to hear:
- 4 questions to ask yourself before using a recovery "tool"
- The determinants of good recovery
- Why context is important with ice baths
- Whether or not warm downs are worth it
