Episode 74: Winning happens between the plays.

Winning Isn’t Just About Pushing Harder—It’s About Recovering Smarter.

In this episode, Martin Lopez breaks down one of the most overlooked yet critical components of high performance: The Recovery Process.

While the new year buzz is all about hustle, grinding, and pushing forward, the real key to sustained success—whether on the field, in the office, or in personal life—is intentional recovery.

The Secret to High Performance: The FLOW Process

Great performers—athletes, entrepreneurs, and leaders—don’t just power through. They master the FLOW Process, a cycle of:

1. Struggle – The preparation before action.
2. Release – The moment of full commitment.
3. FLOW – The execution phase, where everything clicks.
4. Recovery – The essential reset before the next play.

💡 Without recovery, burnout is inevitable.
💡 With recovery, you create sustained momentum.

Recovery is Where the Magic Happens

• In football, recovery is that moment after the whistle—time to reset before the next snap.
• In business, it’s the pause after a call, a meeting, or closing a deal.

👉 And this is where winning actually happens.
Because without recovery, your body, mind, and energy can’t maintain peak performance.
