I have had the pre-workout/energy drink conversation with multiple hockey, soccer, and baseball families today...so let me be clear here.

🚨High school & college athletes listen up🚨

If you need a pre-workout for "energy" you likely aren't:
❌Eating enough quality carb or protein
❌Hydrating or drinking sufficient fluid
❌Getting your 7-9 hours of sleep
❌Eating enough overall calories to support training & recovery demands

Consuming the level of caffeine ( 120-300 mg +) in pre-workouts, energy drinks like:
✖️Celsius
✖️Bang
✖️C4
✖️Red bull
✖️Prime
On a regular basis is extremely harmful to your health.

Too much caffeine (> 200+ mg ) in one dose or in a short period of time can lead to:
❌Heart palpations
❌Anxiety & mood disorders
❌Poor appetite = inability to consume enough kcal
❌Depression & poor sleep (caffeine has a 6 hour half life and it will still be in your system at bed time if you consume in the afternoon/evening)

Pre-workouts/caffeine can't replace the fundamentals. Back to the basics with real food.

Every HS has started their summer program. Players you got to remember: What your doing isn’t special, It’s how you do it that makes it special. Can you bring it every day? Consistency vs Intensity is key!
