You can't talk about sport performance without addressing nutrition, recovery, sleep, and mental resiliency.
These things all contribute to athlete success; as well as academic, art, and work success. I often find athletes will address practice and training performance very hard - they'll put up extra shots, they'll spend extra time in the weight room, they'll hit the batting cage after practice for more swings, etc. BUT these same athletes won't go to bed 30-minutes earlier, they won't give up cereal for breakfast and switch to eggs, they won't make their own lunch and instead rely in crap school lunches, they won't take 10-minutes after training/practice to take care of their body.
The reality is, those things will have a much bigger impact on long-term performance, than getting up an addition 100 shots, or an extra training session. It's always a difficult conversation when we ask athletes if they want to be great, and they all say - "YES!", but they won't do those things asked from them. If you really look at successful athletes, performers in any field - you'll find they truly address these "lesser" areas better than their peers.
The goal of this page is to provide an area of information for athletes to start to acknowledge and address these areas. We have provided 3 tabs for athletes and parents.
