“But, J.R., I just have to get through this project, then I could…”

“I just need to finish this quarter, then I could…”

“I just need to get the starting spot, then I could…”

“…Sleep a little more…”

“…Take more breaks…”

“…Go on vacation.”

I’ve heard it all.

For some reason, we get how recovery works as athletes, but we forgot how it works as humans. Bottom line, there’s no such thing as peak performance without recovery. In today’s 5 Minute Drill, we’re going to get real about recovery.
