Ep 91 | How Yoga Can Enhance Sports Performance | Trudy Messer, PT | CEO, HEAL Wellness & Therapy

Physical Therapist and Founder of HEAL Wellness and Therapy, LLC, Trudy Messer rejoins Glenn on the Field to discuss how yoga can enhance sports performance for elite amateur athletes. Trudy breaks down how yoga improves athletic performance through mobility, strength, flexibility, balance, and recovery, and why it's quickly becoming a go-to training tool for serious competitors. She explains how yoga for athletes differs from traditional yoga, why improved range of motion leads to better stride efficiency and agility, and how adding yoga to a training program reduces muscle imbalances that often lead to overuse injuries. Trudy also discusses how consistent yoga practice improves power output, breathing efficiency, movement mechanics, and mental focus. She also shares how often athletes should incorporate yoga into their training routine and which poses deliver the most performance benefits for athletes competing on the field or court.
