I hate seeing people sleeping in the stands - besides being a bad image, think about what they are missing out on.

Our team uses a version of the Healthy Hero slogan (5-2-1-Zero) that goes along with Carol's tip. Get a minimum of 5 hours of sleep a night, eat at least two meals a day, take one shower a day, and ZERO DRAMA! The days are very long, so remember to just relax and enjoy it and be nice to everyone! (I have to confess that by Saturday afternoon, I'm pretty tuckered out and have been caught snoozing in the stands between matches. )
