Most people tend to think this is the time of year where we sit in front of the TV with a beverage and a snack and congratulate ourselves on making it through another season. It’s at this point in the year we should be focussing on healing injuries, keeping up on our aerobic cardio and maintaining our flexibility in preparation for pre-season training, which starts in mid-December.
