Coach Prime and California Almonds Declare Monday After the Big Game ‘National Recover Day’

MODESTO, Calif., (January 31, 2024) – If there’s an issue we can all get behind, it's that we need a day to recover after the Big Game. But if you think that means lounging around in your bathrobe and playing hooky, think again. Coach Prime knows a thing or two about exercise recovery. To kick off the offseason, Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders is heading to Las Vegas, home of this year’s Big Game, to declare the day after a national holiday - National Recover Day - in collaboration with California Almonds to help the nation own their prime, always.

Coach Prime knows eating almonds daily can help many people own their prime with their exercise recovery benefits, which is why he’s partnered with California Almonds. Initial research, funded by the Almond Board of California, conducted among 64 U.S. adults ages 30-65 who are occasional exercisers, found that those who ate almonds daily experienced reduced fatigue and tension, better leg-back strength during recovery, and decreased muscle damage during the first day of recovery.¹ This is just one of the reasons why Coach Prime loves to eat almonds and why he wants you to join in owning your offseason with the start of National Recover Day.

“You need to know the importance of putting in the work all year round so you can own your PRIME,’ said Sanders. “That’s why California Almonds and I are declaring the day after the Big Game ‘National Recover Day’, so everyone can take their offseason to the next level. As soon as the clock stops, it’s time to get ready for the next game, which is why I recover with almonds. The grind doesn’t stop.”

National Recover Day is the kickoff moment to change the game in how people think about the offseason and implement the mentality of owning your prime, always. Whether it’s starting to eat a healthy snack like almonds or prioritizing getting an adequate amount of sleep, Coach Prime wants the nation to join him in the challenge to own your prime during the offseason.
