Nutrition is Key!

In able to compete at the highest level, athletes must not only train on the court and in the weight room but also at meal time. Optimal performance is gained by eating a variety of healthy foods.

Our team nutritionist took the Pirates in small groups today to one of the local Harris Teeter grocery stores to help them understand how to make smart food choices when they shop. It is said you are what you eat and in athletics, that is a very true statement!

We have been telling you for weeks to come spend time this summer with Coach Macy at camp. To get a closer look at our head coach and her philosophies and beliefs, check out the brochure below! If you are on the fence about coming to camp, let us help you make the decision.


Camp is Just One Week Away!

There is still time to join us at Minges Coliseum this summer. Come and let Coach Macy elevate your game! 

Reason #2 - There's always a reason to smile. Camp will be fun :) 

Reason #3 - Measure everything of significance. Anything that is measured and watched improves. Come get better every day at camp!

Reason #4 - Take things a day at a time. No matter how difficult your situation is, you can get through it if you don't look too far into the future, and focus on the present moment. It's about going to camp to get better NOW!

Reason #5 - Pay attention to your competitors, but pay more attention to what you are doing. Focus on getting better each and every day at camp.

Reason #6 - Focus on what you want to have happen to be successful. You must have a vision of what you want to accomplish at camp!

Reason #7 - Get and stay out of your comfort zone in order to reach success. You will be challenged at camp every day. Rise to the challenge!

Reason #8 - Set goals that motivate you. What are your goals for camp? Whatever they are, make sure they are SMART! (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Bound).

The Final Countdown...

Camp is just a few weeks away and we would love for you to spend time with us this summer! This week we focus on how camp can teach you about success.

Reason #9 - Hard work = SUCCESS! #2FTN 

Reason #10 - You need the right attitude, self-discipline and the ability to put your goal before your own needs, if you are really driven towards reaching success.
 

Reason #11 - To achieve true success, you need the strength of mind and body to struggle and work hard to reach your fullest potential... Lace 'em up and come work hard at camp!

Reason #12 - Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.

Reason #13 - Some people dream of success while others wake up and work hard at it.

Reason #14 - Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life...as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.

Reason #15 - Most succeed because they are determined to.
