As the summer months approach and temperatures rise, it is crucial to take care of your bodies. Being a student-athlete is already a grind as it is, so do not let yourself become dehydrated, over-exhausted, or weak. SLEEP! Sleep is one of the most important parts of being a student-athlete. Your body recovers most when you sleep and it is crucial to get that recovery! That extra game of Blackout or Fortnite might sound fun in the moment, but in the morning when you wake up extra sore, you will regret that sleep. Sleep is vital to recovery, remember that! EAT.

Injuries can be tough, that we all know. There is nothing worse than having to watch the people you love most go out and play the sport you love while you just have to sit an watch. Having two major knee surgeries already as a result of sports injuries, I wanted to share some tips that helped me stay positive and work to get back to being the best I could be.  The most important people to help get you through a tough injury are your teammates. It may stink having to watch them play every day, as you are eager to get back out there. However your teammates have your back more than anyone. They want you out there with them just as much as you wish you could be playing alongside them. Teammates provide endless support in times of trouble, I have experienced that first hand countless times. Let your teammates be there for you and let them help you get better. When you are injured your teammates pray to see you healthy again, so embrace their support and remain positive through standin...
