🔥 Pre-Game / Pre-Workout Stretching
- Do dynamic stretches before warming up (high knees, lunges, leg swings, arm circles).
- These improve blood flow, loosen joints, and prepare muscles for explosive movement.
- Follow with light warm-up drills (jogging, layups, defensive slides) before you play.
👉 Order: Dynamic Stretch → Warm-up Drills → Game/Workout
🧘 Post-Game / Post-Workout Stretching
- After the game, start with a cool-down (light jog or walk, deep breathing).
- Then do static stretches (hamstrings, quads, calves, shoulders).
- This helps reduce soreness, prevent stiffness, and improve long-term flexibility.
👉 Order: Cool-Down → Static Stretch → Recovery (hydration/foam rolling)
