Preparation, Recovery and Minding the Body
Welcome back to another episode of Mind the Game with LeBron James and Steve Nash. In this episode, we dive into something that we believe to be a crucial side of the game that isn’t discussed enough… the human body. We’re talking about preparation, recovery, strength and condition, diet and taking care of the mind. With LeBron playing at a high level at age 40, how does he approach the NBA calendar year? What are his offseasons like? How does he ramp up in preparation for the playoffs? And what are the little things that allow him to still be at the peak of his game at this stage in his life. Our goal in creating this show is to provide a little more insight into what it takes to play this game at a high level and we hope this conversation accomplishes just that.
