Why is this important? Unfortunately, many student-athletes have negative thoughts about the way their body looks. They can feel sports-related and sociocultural body pressures from images they view on social media. When these are internalized by the athlete, it can lead to negative body attitudes and ultimately poor treatment of their body (unhealthy eating behaviors, over-exercising, etc.).β£ π§ β£

building their own trail mix this morning while we discussed the importance of pre and post practice nutrition. Fueling for performance and then recovering after are key components for reaching off season nutrition goals!! Plan ahead by making your own backpack trail mix geared toward your specific goals! These loaded trail mix bags were filled with nutrient rich options including sodium for replenishing electrolytes, carbs for refueling, protein for rebuilding & antioxidants for anti-inflammation! πͺπΌππΌ

610 for an all time PR to end DEADcember.
Me: Brett, is it cool if I come in and get a deadlift workout in?
Brett: I think itβs a great idea!
Yes it was!
Iβm pretty sure it was because of the sweet shirt LJ got me from APEMAN STRONG or could it be the great atmosphere and support from the X-Factor Athletic Performance Family?? Or could it be not deadlifting three times a week? Or Alien Weaponry blaring through the speakers?? Iβm not sure but whatever it is I like it. Thank you Coach Brett for the hospitality!
