difference in recovery, both in practices and modalities, with your athletes?<\/h6>\n<p>Those two are inseparable as far as Skylar Richards is concerned. He says: \u201cAs technology has improved, to allow us to have interventions to help the best they can off the field, that has really given us the ability to look into what\u2019s effective, what\u2019s efficient, and how we can individualise those sorts of treatments to make sure we\u2019re as optimal as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Early August, Richards who is an Athletic Trainer with the US Soccer Federation, spoke at a KYMIRA Webinar titled \u2018The Evolution of Athlete Recovery\u2019 where he was joined by Mark Pavlik, the Head Coach of the Penn State men\u2019s volleyball team, and session moderator Johnny Parkes, the Lead National Coach at the United States Tennis Association.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo much in sports science and medicine, we worry not so much about the medicine side of things as much as the optimisation,\u201d Richards continues. \u201cAnd so really keeping people as healthy as possible is the focus with recovery but also then the art of how to do that consistently within their regime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here, we discuss 10 factors raised during the webinar to consider when seeking to establish optimal, consistent recovery practices with your athletes.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>How do you combine passive and active modalities?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Do you need to prioritise passive or active modalities? Your athletes\u2019 culture of recovery \u2013 practices and habits \u2013 should tell you. In his time at FC Dallas between 2012 and 2019, Richards noted differences between his younger players, who were happy to visit the recovery lab while they watched tape, and those players in their mid-30s who had families and, frankly, far less time and cognitive capacity. \u201cThose become the tricky puzzles to figure out,\u201d he says. \u201cHow can I help them recover in their lives and support them in that? That can be the difference between applying an active modality versus a passive one, a wearable or something like that. It helps them to do it all the time no matter what life throws at them.\u201d<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>What gives the athlete the biggest dosage?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Whatever an athlete\u2019s preferred combination of recovery modalities, there is an important question to ask. \u201cWhat gives you the biggest dosage of all those things put together in one package, which is easy to manage and to be consistent?\u201d says Richards. \u201cYou don\u2019t want them to burn out having to think about stuff all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>How are you helping busy athletes to prioritise recovery?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>A veteran may have a busy life but, as a cohort of largely self-driven individuals, Richards can work with soccer players to \u201cscratch that itch\u201d around self-improvement. \u201cSomething that I\u2019ve found I can do well with my older athletes: I\u2019ll say \u2018why don\u2019t we try to instal a recovery room at your house? It gives you an hour away from the kids and the craziness to go in, watch some videos, and now read a book. Whatever you need to do justify it as your job\u2019.\u201d Now, the athlete has a consistent pattern of recovery and doesn\u2019t feel the need to, say, go on an evening run that may well clear their minds but has a detrimental effect on their physiology. \u201cWe scratch the same itch by helping you rather than sacrificing something.\u201d<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Does the athlete know what works for them?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The success of Richards\u2019 approach with his veterans has enabled them to take that message to the rest of the team. \u201cGetting them to talk about that approach to the younger players really helps them to buy-in,\u201d he says. With men\u2019s volleyball at Penn State, it sits with Pavlik and his colleagues to educate the archetypal 18-year-old who \u201cdoesn\u2019t know what they don\u2019t know yet from a recovery standpoint\u201d. He says: \u201cThey\u2019re coming off of club or high school practices at most three times a week, they\u2019re living at home with mum and dad when they wander into our gym, it\u2019s my job to ensure that the educational points that we\u2019re trying to drive home so they can have a longstanding, successful collegiate career, and those that continue to move on through the professional ranks and international ranks with men\u2019s volleyball have something in their background.\u201d<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Expert or friend?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>That aforementioned education is best delivered by a friend. In that regard, Pavlik ensures that his student-athletes are surrounded by smart and passionate people who make an effort to build relationships. \u201cWe do a pretty good job of getting these people around my team early in their career and, let\u2019s face it, the adage of \u2018the team doesn\u2019t care what you know until they know that you care\u2019 [is true],\u201d he says. \u201cWhen you have these types of experts having relationships with our players; coming to practice, just being around the water cooler during water breaks, being able to just say \u2018how\u2019s it going?\u2019 Then when the guys are in a position to listen to what the expert is saying they\u2019re no longer experts \u2013 they\u2019re friends, they\u2019re buddies.\u201d<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><strong>Game day minus one<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Are there opportunities for you around game day? \u201cIt\u2019s always been crazy to me that we control every other variable with athletes all the time, but the one day we completely flip the schedule is game day,\u201d says Richards. \u201cThose older guys love those moments of recovery on the road. For them, it\u2019s less chaotic, it\u2019s easier to focus. So much so that we\u2019ve had a lot of success with having players to stay at a hotel the night before a home game or have that option, so that they can get into that rhythm and we change those practice times to the same as game times so they can get that day before the game rhythm into their bodies and their minds.\u201d The benefits are palpable. \u201cAllowing them to get into that rhythm early on, sleep, get out of that chaos, get their recovery mode early and have time to do any modalities that they want is crucial.\u201d<\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li><strong>What\u2019s the problem we can solve the best?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Customisation is important and, at Penn State, it goes beyond age (i.e. an athlete at 18 versus an athlete at 23). \u201cWe look at the age and the experience of the athlete, then we take a look at what their on-court responsibilities are,\u201d says Pavlik. \u201cSome max jump much more often than others on the court during the match or practices. There are going to be some that have to get up the floor a lot more than other guys. What we try to do here is make sure with our training staff and med staff that we understand what we\u2019re asking them to go through.\u201d For Richards, it involves asking better questions. \u201cWhat is the question for that athlete that we can solve the best? All physiology is too much of a blanket statement,\u201d he says. \u201cIs it overall energy? Is it mental fatigue? Is it truly physical fatigue? Is it something masking as another [marker]? And how can we hit those?\u201d<\/p>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li><strong>Sleep as a by-product of good recovery practice<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>As moderator Johnny Parkes says, \u201cWith all these physical modalities we can use, I think we sometimes forget about the things we can control the most, which is our level of sleep recovery, hygiene and the effect of resetting the body for the next day.\u201d For Richards, good sleep can be an outcome of a holistic approach to recovery. \u201cThat\u2019s when you get the most synergistic effect out of all of them,\u201d he says while asking, \u201cCan we create that cycle of measurements to enhance individualisation and effectiveness?\u201d He once again cites the idea of players staying in hotels the night before a game. \u201cIt really ties this together in a practical way in terms of \u2018let\u2019s get you good sleep in an environment I can go in early and control, make sure the sleep hygiene is there, giving you the time to implement those things well and then tie-in any other recovery modalities you want at the same time\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<ol start=\"9\">\n<li><strong>Gamification as a motivator<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>According to Richards, both younger and older athletes are interested in the gamification of recovery, but in different ways. \u201cYounger players thrive for the most part on comparing what they\u2019re doing and being effective versus their peers,\u201d he says. \u201cFor an older athlete, I\u2019ve found they\u2019ve passed that point in their life, they\u2019ve been saturated by that already and what you come to is the gamification comes from comparing them to themselves. Can they get a high score? Can they see what\u2019s most effective for them? What patterns help them to be the most consistent over time? Scoring that on a streak becomes the better motivator for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<ol start=\"10\">\n<li><strong>The blind spots in athlete recovery<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>What don\u2019t teams consider as much as they should in recovery and how do we overcome them? \u201cAnything is better than nothing,\u201d says Richards. \u201cWe have a huge market for recovery tools and methodologies but I haven\u2019t seen a huge move towards a blend of that. That\u2019s where I\u2019ve been pushing a lot of companies on their research. Can we let the monitoring devices drive the intervention; the duration, the velocity, the frequency and occurrence? Can we use measuring sticks to drive it for individuals; its appropriateness, effectiveness and sufficiency on an individual level? Until we do that I don\u2019t think we\u2019re doing the best we can do to figure out the puzzle, which is an athletic body.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n                                <\/div>\n                            \n                            \n                            \n                                                    <\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"col visibly-hidden col--flex-align-right\">\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":19636,"menu_order":0,"template":"","categories":[21],"pathway":[304],"topic":[353,326,336,363],"sport":[303,317,381],"class_list":["post-19635","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-human-performance","pathway-technical-excellence","topic-conditioning","topic-programming","topic-recovery","topic-rehabilitation","sport-football","sport-tennis","sport-volleyball"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
