HOW TO HAVE A GREAT WEEK OF TRYOUTS

Posted by Jeffrey Thompson on Aug 03 2007 at 05:00PM PDT

Dear Soccer Players:

It's showtime and I want each of you to have the very best tryout possible.  Monday morning will be the beginning of what should be the most successful soccer season in school history and I want each of you to play a part.

Below is listed a couple ways to aid your tryout, to help your body feel its best and to keep your mind positive on what you need to do:

-   Eat four medium meals a day at 6:15am....11:00am.... 4:30pm....and 9:30pm.   Plenty of fruit, vegetables, macaroni & cheese and pasta.   Stay away from fried foods, red meat and fast food.

-   Drink tons of water & gatorade.......drink all the time, even when you are not thirsty.  You must keep yourself hydrated and that means at least 8 large glasses of water everyday, plus your sports drinks.   NO soda, coffee, or heavy juices.

-   Stay off your feet between practices....you must rest when you are away from the pitch.  Take a revitalizing bath sequence between sessions.....2-3 minutes in cold water, then 10-12 in warm water with epson salts.  This will revive your legs.

-   Stay focused on what you are able to do....don't worry about other players, your past performance or a poor outing, instead stay focused on doing what is asked of you and doing it to the best of your ability. Keep a positive mindset.

-   Get plenty of rest.... you should be asleep in bed by 10:15 every night this week.   This gives you 8 hours of quality rest before the next day.  No excuses....make it happen.

 If you do the things above, you give yourself the best chance to succeed.  If you have any questions, please speak with the coaching staff so that we can provide understanding.

For Soccer,

Coach Ric
