This might be the most crucial part of the recover like a champ series. NOT because it is the most effective, but because you do not need much more than yourself , some water, and maybe some inexpensive exercise tools. The self therapy regimes can be done when ever you want, you do not have to pay someone, or keep buying things. There are 4 different systems that I include in my self therapy section and they all have different advantages. You have the athlete hated ice baths, self massages, stretching, and foam rolling.

The “drastic measures” some athletes (or coaches) will go to so they can be on top.
Steroids are soooo “2000″ like c’mon, we’re in a new decade now and gene therapy is the new performance enhancer. The addition of genes into an athlete whether it works or not. Drastic measures is right! They’ve been tested on mice… Result = BIGGER and FASTER rodents… so therefore they’re good for humans (skip the testing on us… we need that Gold medal and 6 figure contract NOW!)
Desperate times calls for drastic measures? Ya, I think we blew our way past that by now…

While you’re just cruising at the speed limit on the main streets (40mph or 60km/h), enjoying a nice day out…you notice a tall, dark skinned man pull up beside your vehicle and block your sun light. You’ll think you’re dreaming but really…you’re not. You quickly check the speedometer to see how fast you were moving and realize…. Yep, you just saw Usain Bolt run right beside your car!
Usain Bolt topped out at 28mph when he set his most recent world record in the 100m, but what is this now, he can go even faster?!?! He could achieve a speed of 40mph! And basically run beside your car on the street for a quick second!! What will the record be set at then?

Why is it so difficult to improve your speed and become faster? Let’s see… you can’t train speed, you have to be aggressive to run faster, strength training just makes you bulky, interval training is the same as speed training and working on your flexibility doesn’t help your speed?
