Summer Camps – Get Plenty of Rest!
May 21st, 2009 - bySummer camps are right around the corner for players. A player has to be very careful when selecting camps. As a former player I always made sure that I had adequate rest between my camps. Some players make the mistake of attending week long camps and the day after they are at another camp. You need to rest your body, especially after training for 4 or 5 days straight.
If a player is attending a University camp, they are getting evaluated by the coaching staff. How can you perform your best if your legs feel heavy, your body is sore, and/or you have a minor injury from the camp before? I suggest a player take at least a week off between camps to fully recover. It isn’t the number of camps you can attend; it is how well you perform at them!
