5 QUICK Tips for Improving Athletic Performance

1.       CONSISTENT SLEEP

·       Sleep 6-8 hours every night

·       No phone in the bedroom (or only use for an alarm & put it on Do Not Disturb)

·       Reduce blue light contact 1-2 hours before bedtime (that includes your phone/TV)

·       Work on consistent sleep patterns (wake up/go to bed at the same time daily)

2.       NUTRIENT RICH FUELING

·       Eat REAL foods – foods without labels, less processing, and higher nutrition value

·       Supplement where needed

o BUT remember that supplements are just that – a supplement to real food they do not fix poor nutrition habits.

3.       IMPROVE MOBILITY

·       Mobility improves your ability to adapt and recover (this will keep you in the game longer…)

·       Motion is lotion for long-term athletic performance (ask any former athlete!)

·       Get strong, but do not forget to be mobile!

4.       MASTER THE BASICS

·       Movement mechanics and proper form will carry you further than fancy drills

·       Master your own body so your skills can shine!

5.       BUILD YOUR BREAKS

·       You wouldn’t drive a fast car if it didn’t have breaks; would you?

·       Our posterior chain (the muscles down the backside of our bodies) are our breaks. The human body is designed to protect itself, so if we do not have breaks then we cannot improve our speed or vertical; and we are at a higher risk for injury.
