With the heat right now, nutrition and hydration need to be a priority, especially for young athletes heading into practice after a long school day.
Skipping lunch, rushing out of school, and going hours without eating or drinking can leave athletes unprepared for intense practices, especially when they're spending several hours outside in the heat.
Before practice starts, make sure your athlete has had enough food and fluids throughout the day. Proper preparation can help support performance, recovery, and most importantly, safety.
