Proper hydration for performance. Important guidelines for Coaches.

An athlete can sustain a quadriceps or hamstrings strain during any activity which involves rapid acceleration or deceleration.  This includes sports such as baseball, softball, lacrosse and track.    Often times, these injuries are caused because the athlete doesn’t warm up properly, and attempts to sprint while the muscles are tight.  Especially in our region, where it is often times cold during practices and games, it is very important to properly warm up and stretch the muscles.
