Recovery should remain simple, centering on foundational practices such as adequate sleep, balanced nutrition, hydration, and social support. A historical shift has moved recovery from basic practices toward an industry saturated with gadgets, supplements, and complex protocols, creating an 'industrial complex of recovery.' Advanced recovery tools can provide marginal gains but must complement rather than replace core methods. Coaches and athletes should prioritize consistent basics to sustain long-term performance and health. Practical recovery planning emphasizes mastery of sleep, diet, and relationships first, using technology and supplements selectively to support foundational recovery habits.
