Student burnout

[Kelly180]

We tell the students lights out at 11pm, and for them to get as much sleep as they can. All of the students have to have grades in order to go to a competition. Try to talk to the school(s) if there is a major test coming up so they can take it early? Most students won't be studying at an away competition so, they will forget it all afterwards. lol

We (adults and students) have to remind each other to stay hydrated. I forgot how intense this is. Glad we had water at our pit, but not enough. So we will be bringing more. Eat a hearty breakfast, not everything at the competition goes to schedule, and sometimes it's crazy hectic.

Also, for students (boys especially) make sure they wear extra deodorant! 8am-6pm is a long day with minimal deodorant.
