Warm humid weather and intense high school sports practices lead to a lot of sweating and risk of heat exhaustion or more serious heat stroke. While hydration may not be at the top of the list for a successful athletic performance, it should be. Tips to Prevent Dehydration • Athletes cannot simply rely on thirst to maintain hydration. Instead, a schedule for hydration before, during, and after practice or games may be more helpful. • Weighing the athlete before and after the practices, since proper hydration will show no or minimal weight change from practice. • An example hydration schedule for a high school athlete could be drinking 16 ounces of fluid two hours before physical activity, drinking another 8-16 ounces 15 minutes before physical activity, and during physical activity, drinking 4-8 ounces every 20 minutes. After physical activity, drinking 16-24 ounces of fluid for every pound lost during physical activity. • Athletes will continue to lose fluid Fall Sports & Hydration For Young Athletes

Football continued from cover the dad things — hang stuff, pick things up, drive the truck for 17 hours. All the things. We are getting to enjoy Stone being home for a couple of weeks, too. School starts back for him in a week. He finished up his internship in New York City in August. He says his knife skills are spot-on after working with fish all summer. He worked at a really high-end sushi restaurant. He moves back to culinary school in a few days though. We just don’t know where he is moving to… exactly. His housing assignment has changed three times. If you come into the office, you will see a lot of new faces. We are growing. I am excited to finally announce that we are moving, again. Into a space that will allow us to continue to serve this community even better. We are going to nearly double our space. We will be making more announcements soon, so follow us on Facebook and Instagram for the construction posts. — Jeremy
