As a passionate Athlete your health and your performance matters. You seek chiropractic because of both of those.
ONE VILLAGE ATHLETE CHECK-IN
“Learn your body. Trust your body. Take care of your body.”
Daily Body Awareness (1 minute check-in)
☐ Do I feel energized, or tired and heavy?
☐ Do I have any tightness or soreness? Where?
☐ Is my posture strong (head over shoulders, ribs over pelvis)?
☐ Am I breathing deeply, or shallow and rushed?
☐ Do I feel focused, or distracted and overwhelmed?
If something feels “off,” your body is talking. Pay attention.
MOVE BETTER
Ask yourself:
☐ Do I feel stiff anywhere? → add stretching or mobility
☐ Do I feel weak or unstable? → add strength work
☐ Do I feel tight and overworked? → lighten training or recover
☐ Did I move in different ways today (run, jump, twist, balance)?
Reminder: Your body needs variety, not just repetition.
RECOVERY CHECK
☐ Did I sleep 8–10 hours last night?
☐ Do I wake up feeling rested?
☐ Do I need a rest day or lighter day?
☐ Have I taken time to relax, breathe, or be still today?
Ask for help if:
- You’re always tired
- You’re not improving
- Small injuries keep coming back
FUEL YOUR BODY
☐ Did I eat real food today (protein, healthy fats, fruits/veggies)?
☐ Did I drink enough water?
☐ Did I eat before and after activity?
☐ Am I skipping meals or eating too much junk?
Ask for help if:
- You feel low energy often
- You get dizzy, shaky, or headaches
- Your performance is dropping
MINDSET MATTERS
☐ Am I being hard on myself, or encouraging myself?
☐ Did I do my best today, not just try to be perfect?
☐ Am I having fun, or feeling pressure all the time?
☐ Do I feel stressed or overwhelmed?
Talk to someone you trust if your thoughts feel heavy.
SOCIAL + FUN CHECK
☐ Did I laugh or have fun today?
☐ Did I spend time with friends or family?
☐ Do I feel connected, or alone?
A healthy athlete has joy, not just discipline.
PAIN & WARNING SIGNS
STOP and speak up if you notice:
☐ Pain that doesn’t go away
☐ Pain that gets worse with activity
☐ Feeling off-balance, dizzy, or not coordinated
☐ Headaches, trouble concentrating
☐ You’re changing how you move to avoid pain
Pain is not something to push through. It’s something to understand.
WHEN TO CHANGE SOMETHING
Adjust your routine if:
☐ You feel tired → sleep more / lighten training
☐ You feel stiff → stretch / move more
☐ You feel weak → add strength work
☐ You feel stressed → slow down / breathe / talk it out
☐ You feel bored or burned out → add play and variety
WHEN TO ASK FOR HELP
Talk to a parent, coach, or chiropractor if:
☐ Something feels “off” and doesn’t improve
☐ You don’t understand what your body is telling you
☐ You’re not getting better despite trying
☐ You feel overwhelmed physically or mentally
FINAL REMINDER
Your body is always giving you information
Strong athletes listen, not ignore
Taking care of yourself makes you better—not weaker
ONE VILLAGE MESSAGE
You don’t take care of your body because something is wrong.
You take care of your body because your health matters
