Stretching is such an important part of developing as an athlete. Please don’t ever fall in to that trap of believing that in order to stretch properly, you have to put on a fancy outfit and go to a yoga class. Remember the basics of stretching, and if your coach does not hold a group stretch at the end of class, be sure to do it on your own and ask questions.
Stretching helps to increase your power output in the workouts by increasing your flexibility to give you better range of motion and recovery. As mentioned in previous posts, better range of motion leads to more efficient performance in workouts, which leads to faster times, and gains in strength.
So in short, if you want to be stronger and faster, don’t skip the stretching.
“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength” Proverbs 17:22
