The example
What Jimmy does
Jimmy uses light yoga and stretching in the morning and evening. Before basketball, his preparation includes bands, light squats, and more stretching.
When it fits
Before the day’s demands and as part of winding down. Basketball mornings use a different sequence.
Why it belongs
A long history of injuries influences how he thinks about preparation and recovery.
What he pays attention to
Restrictions, old injury sites, and the difference between useful preparation and forcing a movement.
The principle
What it is there to support
In Jimmy’s practice: awareness, movement preparation, and a transition out of the day.
What makes it a multiplier
Body preparation also creates an opportunity to slow down and pay attention.
What to watch for
Using a general yoga routine as treatment for an injury. Persistent or new pain deserves appropriate assessment.
Make it easier to repeat
Leave approved equipment accessible without turning preparation into clutter.
