Knowledge is gained and shared everyday, and in order to grow and succeed as an athlete, one must listen and learn on an everyday basis. Below is a list of helpful hints to aid you in everyday life as well as in athletic competition.

• Put In The Extra Effort Every Day

  Always try to do at least one extra repetition of everything the coach asks you to do in practice. This additional effort will put you over the top in tight matches.

   

• Reduce Skin Irritations

To reduce your risk of developing skin irritations, make sure to shower immediately after working out.

• Be Alert

Always make sure to show your coach and/or trainer anything that looks out of the ordinary on your skin. Treat problems immediately to make sure it doesn't get inadvertently spread to teammates or competitors.

• Properly Launder Your Clothes

Launder workout clothes each time you use them. Dirty clothing can lead to skin problems.

• Take An Extra 5-10 Minutes

Try to get to practice 5-10 minutes early and stay 5-10 minutes after to work on things that you specifically need to improve. This extra time helps athletes focus more on their own technique more so than during regular practice where drills are best suited for a whole team.

• Clean Your Headgear Often!

Make sure to clean out the inside of your headgear often. Where it touches your face needs to be washed out regularly to prevent bacteria build-up which can be transmitted to your skin.
