This week in The Mental Weight Room, certified mental performance coach Antoinette Datoc takes a deep dive into the often underestimated yet essential role of sleep and recovery in peak athletic performance.
Coach Antoinette unpacks the science of sleep, focusing on the impact of slow-wave sleep (SWS) and the release of human growth hormone (hGH) in muscle repair, recovery, and physical development. She highlights compelling research demonstrating how increased sleep duration significantly enhances performance across various sports, including basketball, swimming, and tennis.
Additionally, she shares evidence-based strategies for optimizing sleep, explores the effects of travel on recovery and performance, and provides practical tips for minimizing jet lag.
Tune in to discover why prioritizing sleep is a game-changer and the ultimate performance hack for athletes and anyone wanting to level up.
