For Coaches

COACHING MORE THAN A SPORT

You’ve been called upon to coach because of your expertise in the sport. You’ve been selected to teach our young athletes the rules of the game, the Xs and Os of the sport and to push their skills to the next level. But in reality, as a coach, you’re role is so much more. Players are trusting you to support them, to teach them and parents have put their faith in you to safely guide and look after them, to serve as a role model who has their best interest in mind. That includes instill in them proper technique, proper behavior and proper nutrition. They need to hear it from you that what we put into our bodies directly impacts what we are able to get out of our bodies on the field. Eating right, proper rest and always choosing WATER overt sports drinks is the foundation to a better, faster, stronger athlete and ultimately a better team!
