| CURRENT TOPIC: ROAD TRIP TIPS |
Road Trips…
Can be exhausting but use these tips to get through
- Take advantage of breakfast before heading to the game! High in carbohydrates (ENERGY!) will do the trick: Oatmeal, fruit, orange juice, low fat milk, whole wheat toast etc…
-
- Catch some Z’s the night before!!! Lack of sleep=lack of mental functions needed as an athlete: focus, decision making, concentration, information processing
-
- Pack your headphones for some relaxing and some game time beats! Aim for songs 125–140 bpm when choosing tracks for your playlist. Another key thing is to choose music with lyrics that keep you “pumped.”
-
- Take your books! Use extra bus, hotel, and restaurant time for writing papers early, preparing for upcoming exams, and doing conjugations or never ending math equations!
- Pack SNACKS! Maintaining your energy is critical to game time performance. Suggestions: water, almonds, trail mix, cheez its, peanut butter, wheat thins, fruit snacks, Gatorade, granola bars…
- Less helpful: Monster, 5 hour energy, candy bars, etc.
