USATF Georgia T&F Committee-Lunch & Learn Series
"Learn the secrets of a natural performance enhancer" 
These days athletes are getting involved in competitive sports at all ages. While competitive athletics has many benefits, there is one downside: the risk of overuse syndrome that leads to injury. Athletes are constantly demanding more from their bodies, and they often put pressure on very specific parts of their bodies without much consideration to rest and recovery. 
Learn what the worlds top performers and coaches already know and are doing to help their athletes reach the podium.
