As coaches, we must emphasize nutrition and recovery as pillars of performance.Key points to communicate:
- Adequate calorie intake to match energy expenditure.
- Timing of macronutrients (carbs, protein, fat) around workouts.
- Importance of hydration and electrolytes.
- Prioritizing sleep (7-9+ hours).
- Active recovery and mobility work.
"You can't out-train a bad diet or poor recovery."
How do you educate athletes on this?
