Most coaches skip it. Don't. Recovery starts here. Players who stretch consistently miss less practice from soreness.
Slow movements, no bouncing.
Breathe, exhale on stretch.
Don't push through pain, just to the edge.
Hold each stretch.
Debrief while stretching: what worked today?
Add foam rolling. Partner stretches. Yoga-flow version. Add mental cool-down.
