What challenges might I face when trying to become an athlete in my 30s, as discussed in the episode Leadership, Longevity, and Life as a Footballer with Ali Riley and the clip Understanding Body Care?
I am a retired college hockey player who used to have a sports-specific workout throughout my youth and early 20s. It has been 3 years, going on 4, since I graduated from college, and I have hit a gym plateau. I have been using the gym to manage my anxious, high-energy feelings but have lost a sense of what I am capable of. I feel burnt out and lack an understanding of how much my body should endure in the gym. I am curious about how to get my body back to where I am confident I can perform certain lifts without the long-term aches and pains that tend to follow today.
