Given the general assumption by those with athletic-minded persuasions that their excellence within a given sport is automatically transferable to another sport, it’s not surprising to find a meteoric rise in the popularity of contrast therapy as a means of recovery over the past few decades.
“It’s basically proof we can develop superpowers – real ones, like super hearing, flying, etc. – if only we put ourselves into hazardous, life-threatening, and emotionally damaging situations.” I once developed such a superpower, but then lost it. Actually, it only worked one time. So I guess it was more of a minipower 😉
I can't agree more (and this is coming from someone with a current severe bathtub pink bathtub ring). I just wish these athletes would try other non athletic pursuits, such as becoming investigative journalists at The Irish Times. Now need to go jump in my ice bath to Wim Hof my way out of an Oedipus Complex and nasal osteoarthritis.
