How come athletes do not stretch?
They are told to by their coaches and parents. But for some reason they don't.
I thought about it and the only conclusion or answer I thought would be a good enough excuse for the athlete- is that they do not know why stretching is important.
IF only he or she would just realize the impact stretching has on their muscles and most importantly their performance.
I am not saying each athlete should taka an anatomy and physiology course but athletes do need to know the benefits of a good all around stretching program.
Now I won't go into all the benefits here in this post. I will be writing that post at a later date. Reason being- because it will take me sometime to discuss all the good stuff I need to get across.
For now, I just wanted to vent a little and try and figure out why athletes just do not stretch enough.
Keep an eye out for my in depth post in stretching.
Happy training (stretching)
