Coaches must help athletes prioritize recovery, even with limited time.Tips for busy schedules:
- Emphasize sleep hygiene and naps when possible.
- Stress immediate post-workout nutrition.
- Promote active recovery (light walks, stretching) instead of complete rest.
- Utilize passive recovery tools (foam rolling, massage).
- Educate on the importance of stress management outside of training.
