If you have ever done competitive sports, you will know that starting a new season means a lot of hard work and practice. Here are a few ways to make sure that you're ready for the first day.
Schedule specific workout times during the week to help you stick with it. Ask your coach, gym teacher or trainer for some advice before writing your plan. Besides, write down how long you have worked out and what activity you have done.
Ask your coach if you aren't sure what you need. New equipment can be expensive, so think about using some second-hand equipment if it's available. Brothers, sisters and friends can be great sources of used equipment. You can ask your coach to take a look at it before the first day of practice. If you are a returning player, take out all your equipment, try it on and make sure that it still fits and works.
Sports camps can help new and experienced players brush up on skills before the season starts. College players, coaches or other professionals usually teach in the camps. Many schools and colleges offer various sports camps during the summer and on the weekend during the school year.
Your school or team will probably require a physical check before allowing you to participate. Because everyone needs to get checked at the beginning of the season, doctors tend to be busy those times of the year. Therefore, set up an appointment with the doctor earlier.
A. Set realistic goals.
B. You can also consider a sports camp.
C. Just make sure that it's very clean and safe to use.
D. It's also normal to feel a little nervous about starting.
E. Making the team and getting in shape are great goals.
F. Start by writing an exercise plan if you don't have one.
G. That can give the doctor plenty of time to fill out your paperwork.
