Remember that turkey is a good source of protein, B vitamins, zinc, and other nutrients. That tryptophan nap afterwards will be excellent rest for your body.

We wish you a wonderful day with family and friends, and remind you to stretch before that backyard football game.

That adrenaline that hits when the game is on the line can push players to go harder than might be safe. This is a big reason to focus on safe play during practice, and reassure athletes that their wellbeing is more important than winning.
