General Tidbits Dont come to practice on an empty stomach! Have a piece of fruit or a granola bar. Stay away from anything high protein/fat/simple sugar until after the workout Label your waterbottle Listen to your body! This is not a contest! No question is a stupid question. The coaches are here to help. COME TO THE SOCIAL EVENTS! This club is as much about meeting people and having a good time as it is about sport and fitness. Throw yourself in there!
