I’ve been mulling over something lately, and I’d love to get your thoughts. In my other life, I’m into fermentation, where slow, steady processes often yield more resilient and lasting results. It got me wondering: what if we applied that mindset to sports training? Instead of pushing for rapid gains, what if athletes focused on gradual, adaptive progress? Could that delay their peak performance but help them stay competitive for more years? I’m curious if anyone’s seen examples of this approach in action or has ideas on how it might work in practice.
