    Cooler practices don't mean you can skip the water Cooler practices don't mean you can skip the water bottle. 🥶💧

When temps drop, you feel less thirsty and sweat less, so it's easy to drink less. But you're still losing fluid, and dehydration can still show up as fatigue, headaches, nausea, and a dip in performance.

Two ways to avoid the October hydration trap:

✅ Check your urine color. Pale yellow to clear is the goal. ✅ Schedule your fluids. 16 to 20 oz about 2 hours before practice, 5 to 10 oz 30 minutes before, and 4 to 5 big swigs at every water break.

Training on your own? Set an alarm so you don't forget.

    What happens when an 18-year-old suddenly has more What happens when an 18-year-old suddenly has more money than they’ve ever seen, and no one has taught them what to do with it? Financial advisor, UVA professor, and author Tom Henske has spent nearly three decades helping families and athletic departments answer that question, and he calls the risk “Sudden Wealth Syndrome.” It isn’t reserved for pro contracts or million-dollar deals. It can hit with a first NIL check, a scholarship, or a first real paycheck, and it explains why smart, hardworking young people so often make costly money mistakes. Tom breaks down the psychology behind “Ready, Fire, Aim” spending, shares his simple “4 P’s” framework for the moment a big opportunity lands, and explains why the people surrounding an athlete may matter as much as what the athlete knows. If you’re a parent who has invested years in your athlete’s training, fueling, and development, this conversation will show you how to prepare them financially too, before the money shows up.

    Breakfast that's ready before you are. 🎃 Pumpkin Breakfast that's ready before you are. 🎃

Pumpkin pie overnight oats take 5 minutes to make the night before. In a jar, stir together:

1/2 cup rolled oats 1/2 cup milk 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt 1/4 cup pumpkin puree 1 tsp maple syrup 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Cover, refrigerate overnight, and top with chopped pecans in the morning.

Why it works: oats give you carbs for energy, milk and Greek yogurt add protein, and pumpkin brings fiber and vitamin A. Perfect for early practices or a busy school morning.

A plan beats cramming every time. Start with the CSSD Content Outline from CDR, rank your weakest topics first, and test yourself as you go.

Step 6 is the one most people skip: take full-length mock exams before test day so nothing about the real exam surprises you.

Want the plan built for you? The CSSD Exam Prep Course maps 15 topics to the exam blueprint. Check it out ay amygoodsonrdcourses.com/CSSD.

In Ep 80 of The Sports Nutrition Playbook podcast, Chef Joshua Ingraham shares how fueling strategies used with MLB and NHL athletes can work for student-athletes and active families:

✅ Build balanced meals ✅ Make recovery a priority ✅ Eat to fight inflammation

And keep it simple: quality ingredients and consistent habits win.

    Your post-practice recovery snack, done in 5 minut Your post-practice recovery snack, done in 5 minutes. 🥣

Layer 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 sliced banana, 1/4 cup granola, a handful of berries, and a drizzle of honey.

Why it works: the carbs refuel your muscles and the Greek yogurt brings protein to help them repair.

Recovery is a daily habit, not just a game-day thing. Save this one for after your next practice 📌
