All athletes have a secret superpower at their disposal… Ask Elite athletes in any sport and you’ll hear about this same power. What’s ironic is it’s probably the most under-utilized tool that athletes use. We’re talking about recovery.
Today on the podcast, I am privileged to have Jen Palin. Jen is a Massage Therapist living in Richmond Hill, GA. She is the owner and operator of Headstrong Massage - a company which she started and built from the ground up to help athletes in all walks of life get the most out of their bodies by increasing their ability to recover and get back to 100%.
On top of being an entrepreneur, Jen is also a former Division 1 athlete, mom, coach and still athlete herself. Throughout this discussion, in addition to the importance of recovery we talk about the challenge of teaching female athletes about the importance of strength training both physically and mentally. Finally, we get into the balance of parenting and coaching and how to get the most out of younger athletes
