Sleep. ⁣ ——⁣ Athletes typically overlook the importance of sleep and the role it plays in training. It is of the utmost importance to prioritize sleep as it plays a vital role in our recovery. There is almost nothing as important when it comes to recovery.⁣⁣ ——⁣ Matthew Walker, Ph.D. on a study on athletes, “one of the most surprising factors there was injury risk [...] it's a perfect linear relationship the less sleep that you have [the] higher your injury risk [,] so people getting 9 hours versus 5 hours there was almost a 60% increase in probability of injury risk”⁣.⁣ ——⁣ If you are not utilizing sleep and are instead disregarding it, you may be missing out on some serious gains. ⁣ ——⁣ #dststrong #dynamicsportstraining #strength #conditioning #training #fitnesshouston #houston #fitness #gym #gymmotivation #fitfam #muscle #gametime #athlete #athletic #dedication #discipline #e3 #equipencourageempower #lift #fitfam #fit #workout #trust #motivation #baseball #summertraining⁣⁣
