Rest has never been a negative concept, especially when it comes to top performers who have earned a break. For athletes training at the highest intensity, giving their all requires recovery before the next challenge. The mantra was clear: “Training should be harder than the game.” In fact, the game was meant to be the easiest part of the week.
