Prep Steps™ Week 4


Prep Steps™ Week 4
Days 17-20

Day 17
When your athletes do experience injury, how do you approach working with the team coaches, athletic trainers and doctors?  Determining what is best for the athlete and balancing various agendas can be a challenge!  Please share your experiences, so we can all learn.

Day 18-19
Startling Statistics:  The mortality rate of anorexia is twelve times higher than that of all other causes of death for females ages 15-24.  Surprising?  One of the reasons this issue is so dangerous:  Only 1 in 10 receives treatment. 
Body image, disordered eating and ultimately eating disorders are fragile topics, but addressing them is absolutely necessary.  Our female athletes need advocates for their health physically, mentally and emotionally.  How can we foster awareness and be the support some of our girls desperately need?

Day 20
Do you have any secrets for rest and recovery?  Has anyone studied Glutathione, the “Super Hero of antioxidants”?  This enzyme plays a huge role in recovery.  These short videos are fascinating!  http://abcliveit.com/site/Glutathione.html
