Coach's Corner

Do have your child eat a banana and a serving of yogurt everyday. The former helps prevent muscle cramps & the latter helps fend off colds. Do plan and pack an “athlete’s snack” every day for consumption before practice. A bag of chips, cookies, soda, candy – they don’t cut it! I recommend a piece of fruit, a drink (bottle of water, Gatorade or juice) and a source of carbohydrates with some protein (i.e., a peanut butter sandwich, bagel and peanut butter, cheese and crackers, etc.). Please use the snack machines at the college only in a last resort for this all important fuel boost before practice.

Do have your swimmer to the college 15 minutes before their practice time is to begin. They need to stretch, warm-up and use the restroom before practice starts and this is not possible if your swimmer is arriving at the scheduled start time. I recommend going right from school to the college- every group’s training starts at 3:30 sharp.

Do check your mailbox between 3 and 6:15 every day. The box will be put away at 6:15.
