My pleasure.
The more that can be done to start changing the culture and get coaches buying into the importance of this kind of stuff, the better.
Considering all of the fall tournaments that are coming up, I think I may put together a "tournament checklist" article that will include lots of pertinent information on things like warm-ups, hydration guidelines, what to eat before, between and after games, stretching ideas etc.
I'll get working on putting something like this together. Stay tuned...

Coach Mike - As president of a town lacrosse program, and a town and travel team coach, I'd LOVE to have a checklist, like the one you describe above. I just started reading this thread, and so far, it's been great! I think the coaches at the town level can use all the help they can get, as many are simply dads, volunteering their time. Many have little to no formal training, especially when it comes to fitness, etc. Thank you very much.
