- Stress - is physiologically measurable; it is directly linked to performance and homeostasis
- Bodily response - a product of 3 elements: genetics (indigenous factor), environment (exogenous factor), and management (which coaching can improve)
- Diary - everyone should keep a record and a schedule of his own performance and recovery; a recovery should be done before the set next performance
- Recovery - the amount of sleep is highly correlated with one's creativity and productivity
- Recovery space - depending on one's personality, recovery space may vary from sleep, nutrition, sipping coffee, or indulging in other recreational activities
