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!

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!
