R is for Recovery
This week on the Building Championship Mindsets podcast, Dr. Selking discusses the importance of recovery in achieving high performance. She emphasizes that recovery is not a sign of weakness or laziness, but rather a necessary part of the performance process. Recovery allows individuals to return to a state of health, mind, and strength, which enables them to perform at their best. Dr. Selking shares how recovery can lead to inspiration, motivation, and having a creative and problem-solving mindset. She shares how you can embed recovery strategies into daily life to maintain physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

STANDOUT QUOTES
- “Recovery is part of the performance process. We have to weave it into our process, to the natural rhythms of our day-to-day life and training so that we can always be in this state of health, which again allows us to then train and prepare with even more intentionality and more vigor." -Dr. Amber Selking [04:22]
- “We can actually work too hard. We can break our bodies down and in doing so, not only do our bodies start to get broken down, but our minds, our emotions, our love, and our passion for the sport, for the game, for what we're doing, also get broken down. ” -Dr. Amber Selking [06:04]
