What should I take with me?
- Coach phone number (435-669-6093 to text Coach Dani)
- TEAM cap(s) & goggles (take a spare just in case!)
- Water and/or gatorade
- Two towels (one to dry off with, one to wrap around you)
- Warm clothing for winter meets
- T-shirt and sunscreen for summer, outdoor meets
- HEALTHY, appropriate snacks (crackers, veggies, bagels, granola bars, PB&J, nuts, choco milk, etc.)
- LEAVE the candy, greasy, salty and heavy foods at home. Coach will confiscate unhealthy snacks!
- Stuff to do (be careful of iPods and other expensive equipment)(cards, art/craft, friendship bracelets, books)
Most venues offer some sort of concessions. You may want to take money to purchase snacks. However, these concessions are NOT always good choices for athletes! Make sure to stay away from sugary, greasy, acidic or salty foods. They can make you feel tired and can interfere with your performance!
