Hydrate properly for performance and safety
Hydrate for performance and safety.
Parents, please make sure all players come to practice with plenty of water. Coaches will break practice at frequent intervals to give the athletes time for cool down and drink fluids. Other helpful items are cold wash cloths, ice gel packs and just a good dry towel help during these breaks.
Remember, hydration starts well before practice. The Cleveland Clinic estimates that 75% of youth athletes start a sport dehydrated to a certain level. Make sure that your child is drinking water at regular intervals at least two weeks prior to the first practice and that you maintain this regiment throughout the season.
The payoff will be increased focus, better performance and a more enjoyable experience for your child.
