Throughout the workshop, you will learn about the role of sleep and why it is important to you as an athlete with special focus on explaining sleep's role in the recovery process, which is when some of the key physiological and cognitive recovery takes place. You will walk away from the workshop with some tips and tricks to get the most out of your sleep and hopefully an understanding on how you can use sleep to improve your performance.
