The Move4Sport Recovery Playbook

How athletes stay injury-free, train through a packed season, and show up ready when it matters most

Move Better. Live Better. Play Better.

Every athlete knows how to work hard.

Far fewer know how to recover — and that's exactly where games are won and
lost.

Here's the truth most young athletes (and their parents) never get told: you don't get stronger, faster or fitter during training. You get better while you recover from it. Training is the spark. Recovery is where the body actually rebuilds. Skip it, rush it, or leave it to luck, and all that hard work starts working against you.

The problem isn't effort. It's everything that happens after the session.

Picture a typical week for a young athlete. Two club trainings. A match at the weekend. School PE. Maybe a second sport. A growth spurt somewhere in the middle. Late nights, early starts, and a fridge raid that counts as "refuelling."

The training is sorted. The recovery? Left to chance.

And it shows up as:

• Niggles and tightness that never quite clear
• That heavy-legged, flat feeling on match day
• Frustrating plateaus despite training harder than ever
• Avoidable injuries that cost weeks — sometimes a whole season
• Burnout, in a sport they used to love

Parents see it too: a tired, sore, frustrated young person, and no clear idea how to help.

Recovery isn't a luxury for the pros. It's a skill — and skills can be learned.

You don't need an ice chamber, a sports science degree, or a fortune in gadgets to recover like a serious athlete. You need the right habits, done consistently, in the right order. That's it. The problem is nobody hands young athletes a plan. So we built one.

Introducing the Move4Sport Recovery Playbook

This is the same recovery thinking we use with national- and international-level tennis players and performance swimmers — stripped of the jargon and made simple enough for an 11-year-old to follow on their own.

At its heart is the Move4Sport Recovery Scoresheet : a brilliantly simple system that turns recovery into a game you can win every single day. Tick off the habits, bank the points, and watch your daily score climb from "increased injury risk" all the way to "optimal recovery."

Because here's the secret every great coach knows: what gets measured gets done.

What you'll discover inside

• The Ultimate Recovery E-Book detailing:
• Sleep, your number one recovery tool — why it out-performs every gadget on the market, and how to get more of it.
• Fuel that rebuilds — the post-session protein window, your daily 5-a-day target, and hydration made dead simple.
• Sports massage — your body's MOT — why a regular "service" every few weeks keeps everything running smoothly and catches problems early.
• Cold, contrast and heat, done properly — exact temperatures, timings and when not to use them , so you stop guessing.
• Move to recover — daily stretching, pre-pool banded warm-ups, and easy flush sessions that leave you fresher, not flatter.
• The tech that's worth it — how to actually use air compression boots and sleeves: how long, how often, at what pressure.
• The Daily Recovery Scoresheet — turn recovery into a points game your athlete actually wants to play, and beat yesterday's score.

No fluff. No guesswork. Just clear, do-able protocols — exactly how long, how cold, how often — that fit around a busy young athlete's week.

Who it's for

• Young athletes (11+) who train hard and want to feel it less the next day.
• Parents who want their child to stay healthy, durable and loving their sport — without becoming a sports scientist overnight.
• Coaches who want a simple, ready-made recovery system to put in front of every athlete in the squad.

Start scoring today

Recovery doesn't start and end on the gym floor or in the pool. It builds across the whole week — and the athletes who win the recovery game are the ones still standing, still strong, and still improving when everyone else is breaking down.
