Training Tips

Start Training Early

Begin your training regimen at least 10 weeks before the start of your school. The earlier you start, the more successful you will be. Consistency is key.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water while training and in the days leading up to the start of your school. Arrive well-hydrated but avoid drinking too much immediately before.

Get Proper Rest

Ensure you get 7-8 hours of sleep before training. Being well-rested improves performance and reduces injury risk.
