I ran D1 track in college and our strength coach advised us to take cold showers before lifting as a way of warming up and calming down, but mostly calming down. He said it was a good idea before races too.
The guy was absolutely ripped so I'd believe what he says, and he usually backed it up with studies.

- dredmorbius 10y agoOne word of caution: it's not a coach's own accomplishments or physique which are qualifications, but the results they promote among their athletes. I've known horribly bad coaches with excellent physiques. And excellent ones who were quite literally paralysed.
