Sleep is the best performance enhancer there is.
Before you worry about magic supplements or buying the latest recovery gadget, figure out how to get your 7+ hours.
Yesterday @GoSydGo said she goes off of Instagram for 2-3 weeks before every competition. Asked her why she goes back on…and what she would say to high school kids about social media.
Sydney McLaughlin said she goes off Instagram for 2-3 weeks before every competition because it gives her anxiety. She doesn’t miss it. Feels so much better when she’s off it. (And if she’s a world record holder, how does your average teen feel?)
Coaches: Be mindful of the sleep variable.
When an athlete comes to you and says they want to make a huge jump in fitness this summer explain that they need to support that training with more sleep than they've gotten in the past.

STATE MEET SEEDING: Pretty simple, right? This document (https://t.co/1IWjlOLLbG) sitting on the MHSAA website and dated 2022 has some clear rules on how a race is divided into heats. Trouble is, it's unclear to me (and to everyone I've asked) whether this will be followed. Why?
A friendly reminder because I was #triggered this morning: Run on the left side of the road, facing traffic. Exceptions are blind hills/curves, or if you're approaching a right turn. If you're in a group, consolidate for oncoming cars/bikes.
