Today’s episode is all about helping you set an intention for the “limbo time” between the end of one curling season, and the beginning of your off ice training program.   I discuss the importance of a full season plan, and provide some tips and tools to rest fully, recover physically & mentally, and how to use the time to move well and manage injuries.   Key Points:

• What are the different macro-cycles in a full curling year
• Why is it important to prioritize rest and recovery in the “post-season” or “limbo time” before you start focused training for next year
• What are the 5 different types of rest
• How can you use off ice training to manage and prevent injuries so that you are moving better and ready to train hard in the summer
