Episode notes
Establish A Recovery Hierarchy
- Build a recovery hierarchy so you know which strategies matter most and when to use them.
- Prioritize based on impact instead of chasing every new recovery technology.
Consolidate Stress Into Blocks
- Consolidate stress by grouping high-intensity exposures into blocks so you get fuller recovery days.
- Schedule lifts, throwing, and sprints together rather than scattering them across the week.
Reliever Routine Example
- Major-league relievers often consolidate stress by doing arm care and lifting immediately after a short outing.
- Young players can replicate this to free up true off-days for recovery.
