Finding another purpose: How these high school athletes made the transition after sports
Poughkeepsie Journal
A farewell to organized sports, in many instances, comes abruptly, and not by choice. For most athletes, after a childhood spent dedicated to sports, the body eventually signals forcefully, “no more,” either by attrition or an inability to compete at a higher level.

STACK
Writes Sonya Elliott: "As a head coach, I always had a practice plan with an overall course for each day’s season and individual plans.

After one of these intense workouts, we can take our muscle soreness and tension as a symbolic request for recovery in the form of rest, hydration, and nourishment. The first two are easy.

Scientists propose new theory for why music is a critical part of exercise
Inverse
There might be a little something extra to Jazzercize, spin classes and Zumba besides spandex, sweat and (potentially) killer abs.
All three share a common element — one that might actually do more than just provide the beat behind a grueling workout.
