Herm Hundley-Sports Performance

So much research out there to support the effects of sleep on performance, yet so many of us still neglect sleep as a factor in our training and performance.

Set a bedtime.
No caffeine or alcohol before bed
Put away the phone & Turn off the TV
Make it dark and cool.
Get a heavy blanket.
Count those sheep.

It's literally the easiest part of your training program.

Many athletes have limited training available to them over the summer months, and as a result they lose much of their strength and power gains from the previous year heading into the fall.

To combat this the OhioHealth Athletic Performance Clinic is hosting small group Summer Strength & Conditioning classes for general athletes as well as one designed specifically for throwing athletes.

Let talk about functional stability and mobility...

All too often, athletes focus much of their training on building maximal strength. The truth is that maximal strength training has little crossover effect on sports performance outside of weightlifting.

In order to perform at their best, athletes need to move efficiently. They need to be strong, but more importantly, they need to be mobile enough to get into difficult positions and be stable enough to withstand the stress their sport places on their body.

When we lose stability or mobility in a joint, it affects the joints and tissues around it, creating dysfunctional movement and injury.
