🏅 Student-athletes expect a lot from themselves—academics, training, and competition. But without the basics, performance slips.

💧 Hydration and 🍎 balanced fuel aren’t just about physical strength—they profoundly affect your mood, focus, and ability to learn.

🔑 Self-care checklist for college athletes:

✔ Hydration → keep a water bottle with you (add electrolytes if you sweat heavy)

✔ Fuel smart → aim for all food groups & hit your macros, even on a budget

✔ Sleep → non-negotiable recovery tool

✔ Fresh air & sunshine → simple ways to reset mood + energy

✔ Meal planning → grab-and-go proteins, fruits, and veggies make it easier

💡 Bottom line: Your brain and body are the machine. Power it up daily.

👉 What’s one small upgrade you’ll make this week—more water, an extra hour of sleep, or prepping meals ahead? Drop it in the comments.

🎓🏅 New semester. New season. New pressures.

Adjusting to college life as a student-athlete can feel overwhelming—early lifts, classes, practices, social life, and travel.

🔑The key to thriving is grounded routines that keep you steady through the chaos. Start now so you're ready when things ramp up.

✨ Try these to reset your groove:

✔ Anchor your sleep schedule—even on weekends

✔ Plan fuel & hydration like you plan training

✔ Use a planner or calendar to track assignments + practices

✔ Create 10-minute “recovery windows” (walks, stretching, or quiet time)

✔ Stay connected—teammates & friends are part of your support system

💡 Remember: feeling balanced off the field fuels confidence on the field.

Social media can boost your mood and mindset—if you use it with Intention.

💡 Quick Tip: Mix it up.

🤣Follow accounts that make you laugh, 👩‍🏫teach you something new, and keep you connected to people who matter. When your feed includes variety—funny, stimulating, and positive—it supports your mental health instead of draining it.

✨ Remember: it’s not all about cutting screens. It’s about choosing how you use them. Be intentional and let your screen time fuel you, not wear you down.

📱 Not all screen use is bad.

Connecting with teammates, following things that make you laugh, learning or being mentally stimulated, following colleges or teams you're interested in knowing more about, watching technique/skills or watching film?
👍 These are productive.

Scrolling aimlessly before practice?
👎 That drains focus. (Research supported)

💪We have control over who we follow, so flex your control.

⏸️ Then try a quick “digital pause” before training or competing.

Even 15–20 minutes off your phone helps your brain reset so you’re sharper and more confident when it counts.

🎶 Use this time for music, breathwork, visualization or to connect with your friends. You may not notice the difference, but your brain and performance will in the long run.

✨ Think of it as a mental warm-up, just like stretching is for your body.

🔥 The soreness of training doesn’t mean stop—it means it’s time to Recover smart.

Instead of dwelling on pain, ask yourself: What can I do to help myself?

✔️ Did I sleep enough?

✔️ Am I fueling my body right?

✔️ Am I stretching or rolling out?

✔️ Do I need hydration or downtime?

✔️ Are there things I need to do at home or school to relieve myself of stress?

Athletes who learn to take care of themselves off the field/pool/track, show up stronger in competition.

We have a certain level of control to relieve the intensity of our stressors. Don't let stress impede your performance or consume your mind.

📌 Parents can lead by example.
-- Help your athletes by modeling recovery habits: balanced meals, consistent sleep, and healthy stress management.

--Parents can also explain why and how they make decisions for their own stress management. This gives your athlete ideas that they can understand and apply to themselves. Indirect instruction like this can be very effective.

Soreness, stress, and endless scrolling—it’s all part of the back to school grind.

But here’s the truth: How you manage it makes all the difference. 👏

💡 3 Quick Tips for Athletes & High Performers:

🧠 Reset Your Mindset – Neutral self-talk (“This is tough, but it’s preparing me”) reduces stress and boosts confidence.
Positive self-talk = Successful Performance

📅 Anchor with Routines – Morning breathwork, hydration, and evening screen breaks give your brain stability when schedules get chaotic.

📲 Be Intentional with Screens – Follow accounts that make you laugh, teach you something, and keep you connected. Variety + intention = healthier screen time.

✨ The grind isn’t about pushing harder—it’s about Planning Smarter.

Sore from practice and wiped out from school?

Your brain needs recovery too. 🧠

📲 Studies suggest too much screen time, especially before bed, can make it harder to fall asleep and feel rested.

💡 Simple switch: Turn on 'night mode' in the evenings to give your eyes rest.

🌟 Give yourself a 30–60 minute “phone break” before lights out.

😴 Use that time for stretching, reading, using visualization or box breathing. You’ll fall asleep faster, wake up clearer, and be less stressed heading into practice and class.

✨ Small tweaks add up—rest is training too.

🗣 Self-talk shapes performance. Our brains listen to us and we physically respond. When practices get tough, what words do you want to repeat?

❌ “I’m tired, this set is too hard.”

✅ “This set is preparing me for competition. I’ll be sore tonight, so I’ll hydrate, stretch, and use the Theragun.”

Notice the difference? The second response prepares you mentally and physically.

👉 Athletes: Try writing one neutral or positive correction to your negative thought today.
👉 Parents: Encourage your athlete to reframe complaints into action steps.
Don't like something? What's in your control? What can you do?

Learn to use flexible thinking. https://shorturl.at/hfH6E

🏊‍♀️The Grind Pays Off 🏃‍♀️

Soreness and tough practices mean progress.

Instead of letting negativity slow you—or your team—shift your mindset:

• Stay neutral—don’t judge the practice, just do it. ✅

• Take it one set at a time.

🌟Remember: “This hard work is preparing me to show up confidently when it counts.” "Coach wouldn't give us the workout if they didn't think we could do it."

Parents: Praise your athlete's hard work or commitment. Encourage your athlete.

Share your go-to mindset phrase when things get tough ⬇
