In work, sport and life, it is impossible to optimize performance if you never get off the hamster wheel. Quite simply - to grow requires rest.
But, how exactly should you integrate blocks of rejuvenation without throwing away all of the blocks of solid training in the last months?
In this episode, Matt talks about the dangers and pitfalls of an "all in" or "all out" attitude. He also stresses the benefits that a short break can have on post-season training.\\xa0
Remember, life is not a hamster wheel. In the cycle of performance, you want long-term development, but you also need time to rest, rebuild and continue to develop technically.
Scheduled breaks are the first step in a new progression, just don\'t turn into a sloth!
