READ BELOW ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Most athletes think injuries start at practice. But a lot of the damage starts after the game. You just rushed for 200 yards, made big plays, and feel like you’re the man. Meanwhile, your body is screaming for energy, fluids, nutrients, and recovery. You skip the recovery. You barely eat. You don’t replace what you lost. You wake up sore and do it all again. That stress starts to accumulate. And eventually, what felt like “just soreness” becomes the injury that keeps you off the field. Your game doesn’t end when the clock hits 0:00. What you do AFTER the game determines how ready your body is for the next one. Recover like you train. #athlete #football #recovery #injuryprevention #mobility
