When it comes to achieving peak performance, most of us naturally focus on managing our time. After all, there’s only so many hours in a day, and the demands on student-athletes are high. Between school, training, games, and everything else, managing time becomes crucial. But what many overlook is the importance of managing energy—an even more valuable resource. Time management is important, but energy management can truly make the difference between thriving and burning out. When student-athletes learn to recognize and strategically budget their energy, they can perform better, feel more balanced, and avoid burnout. In this month’s blog, we will explore the importance of energy management, its impact on performance, and how to help athletes protect their energy.
