Dinner
Break / Meal Suggestions:
Players
are encouraged to stay between the 2
sessions. Please pack a meal that will
prepare you for the evening session. Please
refer to your family physicion if you have special
dietary needs. Recommended food (but not
limited to) - use common sense:
-
Peanut
butter and jelly.
-
Sandwiches
with cold-cuts - use mustard instead of butter
or mayonaise.
-
Chicken
- cold or on
sandwiches.
-
Fruit
-
Juice,
water, sports drinks. Stay away from SODA
or any caffinated
beverages.
-
Snacks
low in grease and saturated fats: pretzels,
light popcorn, Power Bars or Cliff Bars,
cookies.
-
Stay
away from dairy products or food with a lot of
grease (milk, cheese, yogurt, PIZZA -
no!).
Tips
for the every day:
-
DRINK
- Drink plenty of water at night and all
throughout the day.
-
SLEEP
- Get to bed EARLY. If you are not sleeping
properly, this will be a difficult week.
-
EAT
- Eat SOMETHING before the morning session - NOT
too heavy or greasy: bagel, toast, power bars,
fruit. Stay away from dairy products or
anything fried. Do NOT eat a heavy meal before
the evening session. Try to eat at least 2 to 3
hours before the evening practice.
-
DRINK
- Can't say this enough - throughout the day -
water, juice, sports drink. Stay away from too
much caffiene.
-
PREPARE
- in order to be prepared to start practices,
you should plan on being at the field at least
15 minutes early
Reminders of what to bring:
-
Water bottles or thermos WITH water and/or
sports drink.
Extra water will be available, but we will NOT
supply cups.
-
Running shoes.
We prefer to warm up in running shoes or cross
trainers to prevent shin splints.
-
Indoor shoes.
Appropriate footwear in case we have to move
practice indoors.
-
Soccer cleats or turf shoes.
2 pair works best - 1 for morning and 1 for
evening to allow the shoes to dry out properly.
-
Shin guards
with the appropriate soccer sock that covers the
entire shin guard. Bring extra socks in case of
rain. Appropriate, and comfortable, shorts.
-
White or Grey T-shirt
(no colored T-shirts) - NO tank tops.
Tips:
-
Shoes.
You do not have to spend a lot of money to
obtain the proper shoes. Make sure they fit and
are appropriate.
-
Shoe Care.
After practice, role up 1 or 2 pages of the
newspaper and put inside each shoe. It will
help dry the shoe and retain it’s shape. Treat
the leather with mink, or other appropriate,
oil. It helps protect and extend the life of
the leather. If you purchase a new pair of
shoes, try and retain and treat the old pair and
rotate during pre-season.
-
Prevent Blisters.
Do not start the day with wet or damp socks.
Keep ANTIPERSPERANT in your bag. Apply to
entire foot including heel, bottom and toes.
The Antipersperant will prevent moisture from
building up and help prevent blisters.
-
Baby powder.
No much explanation here – use where necessary.
-
Sunscreen:
Apply as needed.
-
Hat or other Head cover.
It is ok to wear a soft brimmed baseball cap or
bandana to keep the heat of your head during
conditioning or some drills. I will ask players
to remove the hat when scrimmaging or working on
heading drills.
-
Water / Sports drink.
Bring your favorite brand – water, juice, sports
drinks. We will have water jugs available.
However, when we take water breaks (and there
will be plenty) you will find it very convenient
to go right to your own fluids and drink up!
Use the H.S. supplied water jugs to refill your
bottle or thermos.
