An invaluable guide to help athletes maximize training gains by making the most of their recovery time.
Recovery—physical and mental—is a red-hot topic, and the worlds of sports, technology, and commerce have all taken note. But which practices and devices really make a difference in recovery, and which should be avoided? What will truly maximize performance?
This second edition of The Athlete’s Guide to Recovery explains exactly how to feel great about doing less.
“With her deep well of wisdom as a coach, instructor, and athlete, Sage Rountree is the perfect person to guide us all on steps for putting recovery into action.”
