  Mitch and Nathan are back to discuss some important topics around competition and making the most of the off-season. They dive into the importance of competition, why we compete as athletes, and how much competition is enough throughout a competitive season. Finding the right balance between competing, training and recovery can play a big role in an athlete’s development and long-term progress. They also look at the off-season, with many Australian athletes now entering this part of the year. Whether it’s taking some time away from karate, recovering from the demands of the season, or continuing to train and maintain your level, there are different ways to approach the off-season and set yourself up to come back stronger.
