[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the poster who talked about sleep and nutrition. Summer leads to later nights and more junk food. Neither is ideal for peak athletic performance. Focus on earlier bedtimes and filling, nutritious foods. [/quote]

Ugh, no. Summer is supposed to be fun! Who cares about stupid times? Your kid isn’t going to the Olympics.[/quote]

It is supposed to be fun. But it’s not all that fun when you feel like despite your hard work, you’re not only not going anywhere, but going backwards. That kind of thing can be really demoralizing to a kid. Heck, it can be really demoralizing to an adult.

I’m going to flip the question a bit - those of you who ARE seeing improvements over the season, what are you doing? Using babysitters or SAHM and no camps? Skipping practices? Focusing more on club or lessons? Early nights?

We’re doing what we can to get our kid out of the heat before meets and ensure proper food/hydration, but it’s clearly not enough. [/quote]
