The following is a guest post about student athletes. As I am a mom of an athlete and I am sure many of you are as well, I felt it was relevant material. Don’t forget to enter the awesome giveaway following the post!
About the author: Brooke de Lench is a youth sports parenting expert and MomsTeam.com founder and editor-in-chief. Brooke has been featured on ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox, and has also served as a consultant on HBO Real Sports and ESPN youth sports related shows.
Helping Student Athletes Perform Their Best
With the school sports season underway, the nation’s 30 million middle and high school athletes face challenges like never before. Competition for roster spots, playing time and athletic scholarships is at an all-time high. Mothers of these athletes are equally challenged with ensuring their kids perform their best in school and on the playing field. To help, sports parenting expert Brooke de Lench – a mom, former athlete, youth coach, author and founder of the sports parenting resource MomsTeam.com – recommends the following game plan:
Blow the Whistle at Bedtime. Studies show that students need nine hours of sleep but only get about seven. Set a consistent “lights out” time for turning off the computer, cell phone and television so young athletes get the rest they need. Consider docking texting and gaming devices away from their bedroom to reduce late-night distractions.
Fuel the Burn. Active young athletes need at least 3,000 calories per day for peak performance, so they need to eat very frequently. Help them maintain energy throughout the day by sending them off with healthy, high-carb, low-fat snacks such as energy bars, trail mix or dried fruit to munch at their desks (if it’s ok with the teacher). Students with early morning workouts should eat two breakfasts – one before the workout and one before school. So, send athletes to practice with a snack to help them recover and refuel.
Be Proactive About Hydration. Staying hydrated during the school day is challenging. In fact, studies show that many student athletes start their sports already dehydrated, making it difficult for them to catch up during activity. For safety and performance reasons athletes need to be hydrated no matter what the season, and water isn’t enough because it doesn’t hydrate as effectively as a sports drink like Gatorade that is scientifically formulated with fluid, electrolytes and carbohydrates to rapidly replace what athletes lose through sweat and provide energy to keep them at the top of their game.
Use Sports Sense to Power Schoolwork. Great athletes are disciplined, focused and dedicated. Help young athletes channel these qualities to manage their schoolwork as well. Encourage them to use free time at school to review notes or knock off smaller assignments. Also, coach them to tackle the tough stuff first. Young athletes will be tired after sports, so they should finish priority and difficult homework earlier in the day.
Don’t Forget the Fun. Youth sports may be increasingly competitive, but the top reason kids play sports is to enjoy the game. Look out for warning signs that students are struggling to enjoy the experience, and work with them to find a solution. Warning signs include: complaints of sickness at practice or game time; slow return to practice after injury; nervousness, anxiety or anger before, during or after the game; practices well but plays poorly.
Brooke de Lench is the author of Home Team Advantage: The Critical Role of Mothers in Youth Sports.

what i found interesting was about bullying and obese kids–it's sad that the schools can't do more to help.

I wouldn't say interesting as much as I would say disappointing. I am interested in fundraising ideas and was excited when I saw that area as a topic on her site. Unfortunately when I clicked on the sections there was very little content. Bummer.
I checked out Brooke's Blog and was surprised to find out that corporal punishment is still legal in some areas.

I thought the article about bullying was really interesting. And not only is bullying a problem within sports programs, but I think that same kind of intimidation causes a lot of kids to not even join in the first place because they fear being made fun of.

There were several interesting items, one of which was from earlier this year. I hadn't realized it, possibly because neither my children nor my grandchildren were interested in high school sports, but the very thought of corporal punishment in sports activities by the coaches makes me angry.

i found this interesting: To address the discrimination in athletics that girls still face in high schools across the country the National Women's Law Center has launched the "Rally for Girls' Sports: She'll Win More Than a Game" campaign. As part of the campaign, I was invited to participate and to write a blog about the advantages of athletics participation and how it has affected me in my life by answering the question, "What did you win by playing sports?"

What I found most interesting about Brooke's blog is that she doesn't shy away from covering sensitive or controversial sports-related topics – such as bullying, abuse, and prejudice – and she combines these thoughtful articles with some practical words of advice that are helpful on and off the field. Very well-written blog!

I found the sports safety interesting, especially since my 13 yr old broke both bones in his arm doing backpedal drills in football practice this summer.

I found the expert tips for sport oriented children very informative. I have a son who plays baseball and football and two daughters that are in competitive dance…I need all of the advice that I can get.

What I found interesting is
that sports drinks, like Gatorade, consumed right before and at 15-minute intervals during prolonged stop-and-go team sports such as soccer, football, ice hockey, basketball, volleyball, and lacrosse actually help young athletes play better, longer. wilcarvic

Thanks for the giveaway…I enjoyed Brooke's blog post "Article Exposes Flaws In Way American Youth Sports System Develops Talent" that reviewed a NY Times Magazine article that compared youth sports training in the US vs Europe.
