Because they learn the power and impact of water intake on their energy levels, performance, recovery and long term health.

It’s one of the many "controllables" that athletes can always control.

Every. - Single. - Day.

And it supports them in moving more powerfully toward their goals.

When athlete is dehydrated they are:

• less energetic,
• less creative,
• recovers more slowly,
• less flexible,
• therefore their risk of injury goes up,
• the body’s ability to detoxify each day is reduced (contributing to a higher toxic load over a lifetime),
• And, quite simply - their performance tanks.

Here’s how simple it is to avoid these undesirable outcomes:

• Your child needs to be drinking enough water for their unique body (weight) and their unique activity level.
  (a/k/a they need to drink more on workout days and in the days leading up to games.)

Here’s the gold standard that we teach our athletes:

• >>> Drink half your body weight (in pounds) in ounces of water per day.
• >>> Then add 8 ounces of water for every 30 minutes of exercise.
• So, a 100 pound girl would aim to drink 50 ounces of water per day on an average off day.
  100 pounds / 2 = 50 ounces of water per day.
  
  That same 100 pound girl, on a day when she has a 90 minute practice, would aim to drink 50 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 74 ounces of water per day.
  
  Simple, right? :-)
  
  But most of young athletes don’t know this.
  What a missed opportunity to thrive in all areas!
  Water intake is one foundation that makes a big difference in performance, both on and off the field.
  
  We love teaching these tools to our student athletes because when they know how to (easily and sustainably) check these foundational boxes...
  They can unlock their best performances, both on and off the field 😄
