“When we train, our performance improves as we adapt to stress. Over time, however, if the stresses are too great or we don't incorporate sufficient recovery time, gains begin to diminish. To grow and adapt, we require stress, but equally, we need periods of rest and recovery. This is a delicate balance to strike: if we rest too frequently or for too long, we will become soft and move backward. We need stress to create adaptation.” GrowthTrainingStressAdaptation Book:The Eagle and the Dragon: A Story of Strength and Reinvention Source: The Eagle and the Dragon: A Story of Strength and Reinvention
