Stretch and avoid injuries!

So you just finished your second match of the day with more tournament action scheduled for tomorrow morning.  What steps can you take towards recovery? Arguably the most important action you can take is to sneak in all important cool-down stretch. This will help to ensure that your fatigued muscles do not remain stiff going into the next day of competition. Research has shown that static stretching performed after an activity can often be more important to athletic performance over time than when done before exercise. Yet it is important to get your stretching in very soon after the workout while the muscles are still warm.
