The key to remember is that although there are many stressors that we don’t have control over, training is the one exception. Athlete immunity goes beyond just training Imagine that you’re playing a game of Jenga. You pull away the plastic pile guide. One by one, you pull out blocks and stack them on top. At some point,…
