Friendships born on the field of athletic strife are the real gold of competition. Awards become corroded, friends gather no dust.

Even when you have gone as far as you can, and everything hurts, and you are staring at the specter of self-doubt, you can find a bit more strength deep inside you, if you look closely enough.

A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.

Congratulations on completing your first day of practice!! Remember, you might feel extra tired and/or some pain, and both are perfectly natural.
Some important reminders for tomorrow's practice:
1. bring a bath-sized towel
2. wear sunblock
3. bring water for drinking during practice
4. drink Gatorade or juice after practice (NOT an energy drink)
Please look at the post about hydration. Hydration is very important!!! Drinking water during practice is not adequate because you will not drink enough water (only small sips of water at each water break) during practice to make up for coming to practice dehydrated. Hydration must be maintained on a long-term basis.
