Importance of Balancing Workload and Rest
Dana Cavallet, the former head of strength and conditioning for the New York Yankees, emphasizes the significance of balancing workload and rest for high-performance individuals. According to Cavallet, intense and hard-charging individuals often push themselves relentlessly, risking burnout and exhaustion. To prevent this, it is essential to have someone on your team, such as a coach, who can help recognize behavioral changes and manage workload. Cavallet suggests using an undulated periodization model, which combines weeks of hard work with weeks of light work. This approach helps individuals understand the importance of rest and allows them to maximize their long-term performance.
