When you’re 19 or 20, looking after your body doesn’t always feel urgent.
You feel good.
You recover quickly.
There’s another season coming.
And spending money on learning how to fuel and recover properly probably isn’t as exciting as spending it on everything else.
Then suddenly you’ve got something you didn’t have back then.
Hindsight.
A friend of mine played professionally for more than a decade and told me he wishes he’d invested more into this stuff earlier.
Would it have changed how long his career lasted?
Nobody can know that.
But I think there’s a lesson in wishing you’d taken care of something earlier rather than once your body forced you to.
