Recovery Between Matches: How to Stay Sharp During a Busy Fixture List - Football Plan
In football, fixture congestion is real. Playing multiple games a week is draining.
The secret to staying sharp? A solid football recovery plan—one that begins immediately after the match ends.
What Really Matters for Recovery
Recovery isn’t just about rest. It’s a strategic combination of:
Nutrition: Replenishing glycogen and protein for muscle repair
Hydration: Replacing fluids lost through sweat
Mobility: Gentle movement to reduce stiffness and improve circulation
Sleep: Quality sleep for hormonal balance and recovery
Mental reset: Reducing stress and maintaining focus
