PRINCIPLE #13 - REST & RECOVERY

Strength and conditioning is undisputed as being important to any athletic program, but a common misconception is that gains in strength are made during the workout. On the contrary, muscle fibers and energy stores are broken down and depleted during workouts. It is only during rest days and sleep where athletes restore energy and rebuild muscle in response to progressive demands. Therefore, our training will allow for at least 48 hours of rest between training days, while educating our athletes on what and when to eat on those valuable days of recovery.
