Darrin Mees has been racing for most of his life. From dirt bikes to snowmobiles, he’s a dedicated athlete. He’s been to the X-Games no less than 7 times and is a professional snow bike racer. He also uses CBD and is a big supporter of Rooted Hemp Co.

Mees’s road to success is a long one, including several years when he thought he would have to give up racing in order to support his family. Nevertheless, he persevered and is now a professional snow bike racer traveling all across the country to compete. 

Now, at 30, Mees is thinking long term and how best to take care of his body. For any athlete, soreness and injury can be a serious problem. The faster you are able to recover, the faster you’re able to get your head back in the game, which is where Rooted Hemp’s CBD products come into the picture. For Mees, CBD has been a major factor in improving his health and performance, both physically and mentally. 

Why Athletes Need CBD

CBD has become a hot topic for athletes across all kinds of different sports. From golfing to snow bike racing, many are finding relief and reaping its benefits. From injuries to mental stamina, CBD has shown to be an effective treatment. 

For athletes especially, CBD can be a lifesaver. Not only is it good for mental stress and focus, but it also assists in injury recovery. Here are some of the ways it’s helped athletes like Darrin Mees and others to be at the top of their game.

1. Helps With Injury Recovery and Inflammation

For any athlete, strained muscles and injuries can be a serious problem. The more downtime you have, the less time you have for training and practice. Fortunately, CBD can help. Oftentimes, the pain we experience from a pulled muscle is caused by inflammation, and CBD interacts with your internal endocannabinoid system to help reduce inflammation and the perception of pain for a faster recovery.

2. Manages Sleep and Stress

Taking CBD before a stressful task can lower anxiety and stress. Too much stress can have a profoundly negative impact on your ability to concentrate on your sport. In a high-adrenaline situation, it’s crucial to have a fast reaction time and to be able to adapt to any situation. CBD has shown a significant boost in performance when taken before a stressful task. It also helps with sleep, which we all know is directly related to how we manage stress and boosts your immune system.

3. Improves Focus and Stamina

How well you perform in an athletic situation has a lot to do with how focused and alert you are. It takes a lot of concentration to be at your best and CBD has helped many athletes to keep their focus and to avoid mental distractions. CBD can help you to keep your head in the game, striking the perfect balance of energy required for the task and improving your stamina as you push to be your best.
