Fact or Myth Answer!✅ The correct answer is A, "Fact." Sleep is an athlete’s superpower. Athletes who get enough sleep and have good sleep hygiene are able to recover faster, while those with poor sleep quality tend to be injured more and recover more slowly. Without adequate sleep, the body cannot fully repair and strengthen muscles after a tough workout. During sleep, key hormones are released that help the body not only return to its pre-workout state but also build greater strength and endurance for the next challenge. Learn more about the importance of sleep here: truesport.org/preparation-re… #Sleep #SportScience #YouthSports

Through a tennis activity and meaningful group discussions, youth athletes were challenged to step outside their comfort zones and build resilience, confidence, and perseverance. They reflected on what it feels like to struggle, adjust, and try again, as well as how those same skills show up in sports and life beyond the field.
