SLEEP: THE #1 PERFORMANCE PRIORITY
Sleep Aids, Caffeine & the Performance Trap
If there’s one performance strategy every athlete needs, and every parent and coach needs to understand, it’s sleep.
Sleep impacts learning, reaction time, recovery, mood, health and performance…
But what happens when an athlete is having trouble sleeping?
This week, we’re opening the Krush Archives for a powerhouse conversation with Krush favourite Dr. Charles Samuels, Medical Director at the Centre for Sleep & Human Performance.
• The unseen risks of over‑the‑counter and prescription sleep aids for teens and athletes
• How accurately are wearables really measuring your sleep??
• The caffeine/sleep-aid yo-yo that can undermine performance.
• Time change: what it really does to your body and how to protect athletes
• Sleep debt, sleep banking, and how to plan sleep for peak performance
We dig into how sleep can influence brain function, learning, mood, reaction time, recovery and injury risk.
There are practical strategies here you can use right now to improve sleep, recovery and performance.
Sleep isn’t downtime. It’s performance time. Use it to Create More Coachable Players.
Join us All Summer as we help sports parents and coaches better understand athlete development so they can make smarter, more confident decisions for their athletes.
