Hey there Force! Tonight was a little bit of a small turnout but those of you who came tonight mad props. For the ladies who did not come we went over 3 key points. The first was the mental preparedness that is required to be an elite, competitive athlete as well as how to get ourselves into that routine of preparing for games, practices and training with yours truly =).
The next topic covered was nutrition and how much it can effect our performance in practices, games, and strength training. Remember "garbage in, garbage out." So if we eat like crap we are gonna perform like it. So what does that mean you ask?? It means making sure we aren't fueling our bodies with chips and candy. We are eating healthy proteins, carbs, and fats...which means plenty of veggies, meats and fruits. Remember ladies, as athletic growing young women we need to fuel our bodies properly! We do not need to cut back calories and skip meals. Make sure you are eating breakfast, snacking, eating lunch, snacking, eating dinner, and maybe snacking a little more! You must always drink plenty of water as well! When you are feeling fatigued and thirsty at practice, then you are dehydrated, which will greatly affect your performance. Please drink plenty of water to maintain a high level of performance and to keep your body properly fueled.
The last thing covered was stretching. Force, we need to be more flexible! It is that simple. If you are not stretching at least twice this weekend with the stretches we have gone over during practice then you are not giving your body the flexibility training it needs to reach it's maximum potential! Get on it and take care of your body. You should be checking the website mobilitywod.com and hit at least one new stretch per week. As training continues, I will make sure everyone is very familiar with this website.
Alright ladies make sure you are all safe this weekend and for those of you with games, be sure to kick some butt and bring that intensity!! See you all monday!!
