You’re an extreme athlete. Your sport is your work. To keep playing and performing at your best, it’s critical to take breaks for recovery.

Have you scheduled time in your schedule for breaks today?

Dedicate time to feeling human again. Take ten minutes after lunch to read an interesting article, go for a walk, or meditate. Whatever. But make sure that you engineer your schedule to include these breaks every day. Then hold the line when others try to schedule over them!
