Managing Your Energy

Young athletes aged 7 to 18 who sometimes rush into activity, drift during waiting or find it difficult to get ready for the next task.

Parents, carers and coaches supporting realistic routines. Younger readers can try ideas with an adult, while older athletes can take increasing ownership.

66 focused sections organised into 19 chapters, with a cover, contents, eight numbered top tips and a closing message.

Readiness signals, task demands, rushed and flat starts, routines, movement, surroundings, breaks, waiting, repeated efforts, mistakes and a readiness plan.

Practical takeaways throughout, written in clear British English for use a little at a time.

Notice how you approach a task and what it requires.

Choose preparation that fits the activity and your needs.

Use waiting periods and breaks more purposefully.

Review routines and ask for support when readiness concerns persist.

Managing Your Energy is part of the Sports Progression Hub Breathing and Body Regulation collection and works as a standalone digital guide.

Complements Breathing for Performance in the Breathing and Body Regulation collection. Managing Your Energy takes the broader view of preparation and readiness; its companion explores comfortable breath awareness as one optional part of that routine.
