Taking time to rest is critical—but why?
Episode 49 of the Empowered Performance for Curlers podcast is all about helping you set an intention for the “limbo time” between the end of one curling season, and the beginning of your off-ice training program.
Coach Steph discusses the importance of a full season plan, and provides some tips and tools to rest fully—recover physically and mentally—and explains how to use the time to move well and manage injuries.
Key Points:
· The different macro-cycles in a full curling year
· The importance of prioritizing rest and recovery i.e. “limbo time”
· What are the five different types of rest
· Using off-ice training to move better and eventually train hard in the summer
