Recover Faster: Sleep, Stress & Elite Recovery with NHL Trainer Andy O'Brien

from Stronger with Don Saladino · host Don Saladino | Blind Nil Audio

NHL performance coach Andy O’Brien joins Don Saladino to break down the truth about recovery, sleep, stress, and training the world’s best hockey players. Andy has coached legends like Sidney Crosby and Nathan MacKinnon, and in this conversation he explains how professional teams use sleep data to guide travel schedules, why circadian rhythm matters more than total hours slept, and how to personalize recovery protocols for your own physiology.  Andy and Don also discuss the evolution of strength and conditioning in the NHL, leadership lessons from elite athletes, and the clickbait misinformation that plagues the fitness world. ----------------------------- Sponsored By:  Mitopure: Get 20% off Mitopure to Target Age-Related Cellular Decline and Promote Anti-Aging and Health Longevity.
