jv lax in the heat

[laxboyjt91]

hi i've only been playing for a year and played on modified this year and since our school doesnt have freshman lax i have to go out for jv and right now the jv has like a 5 week camp that i go to it is combined jv and varsity but any ways its like 84 degrees and when i run my throat gets small and i cant breathe good also im really skinny so i get dehydrated really easy

does any one have any tips on hydration and getting the coaches to notice me

[exile lacrosse]

play hard. ive been playing here when its 90 plus humidity with the assistant varsity coach and a FEW (about 3-4, sometimes more). it gets beastly. to keep hydrated i would simply just drink lots and lots of water. this includes the period of time before practice. so drink all day in school if you still have it, or when you are at home sitting on the couch, or doing whatever.

[kamikaze0188]

Drink like one fourth or one half liter of water BEFORE you start excersising and you wont get dehydrated. Also, try to drink one fourth liter every 45 minutes while playing.

I just came back from a game today and if anybody else that lives in MD was outside today you know what it waslike. A kid on my team threw up so i would advise not drinking too much water. However i could be completely wrong so if anybody knows any different just say so

Stop whining I have a three day camp for 8 hours a day in july last year it was a 100+ degrees. On the very first day it got up to 105 so stop whinining. Boo hoo. I survived so you will to. And Im doing it again this year. God 84 whoopdedoo.

[Sticknasty4eva]

i live in charleston it gets pretty effin hot here too... with like 100% humidity... just drink throught out the day and dont sit in the a/c all day it will help you build a talerance (sp?). by they way 85 realy isnt hot...

[laxboyjt91]

it is for me my throat closes up and my feet feel like they're on fire its a genetic disease that runs in my family and im only 14 and like 90 lbs and i get dehydrated easily i wasnt asking you to compare yourself to me ya ur from tx where its hot all yr im from rochester and in the winter its like 20 degrees and its only usually 70 now and im not used to it so if your not gunna say something nice dont say anything at all

[unta8]

omg. I would die If I ever played in 84 degree weather.

Edit: You should probably quit. You sound like a baby.

[laxboyjt91]

w/e you guys are just being jerks ur prob way bigger than me to and notice ur all from the south and your used to the heat i asked a simple question and you guys have to put in ur extra two cents if your not going to give me good advice than just dont post your supposed to help your fellow players not make fun of them

Well, you really just sound like a pansy. I tihnk your small size would help. You weigh 90 pounds, you are skinny as hell, you should be able to do that work no problem. I am 6' 190 lbs, and for the better half of our season it's 95-100 degrees.

You really need to gain some weight. How tall are you?

To keep hydrated... like everyone else said, drink A LOT of water.

[laxboyjt91]

im only 5'2'' and i have a fast metabolism i eat a ton but can never gain weight ive been trying all lax season

[isuckatlax]

haha mee to, but i weigh 130-135 and im like 5'9"

if its a disease you should see a doctor, not ask a bunchh of teenagers

It's not a genetic disease its called being hot. And it gets down 30 in the winter and 110+ in the summer so stop being a pansy. boohoo you're hot stop complaining. :loser:

[laxboyjt91]

its not a disease its just a condition and i went to doctors and they didnt know what it was

[HdGLaxWarrior]

Go to the local market and get a Deer Park gallon water jug. It's $2.00. But you basically pay for the jug, not the water. Drink one of those a day.

[GBaschski]

Leave him alone guys...I'm in Roch right now and he's right, it's gotten pretty hot around here. Just about as hot as it is in Charlotte...now, I've been out practicing with the football team in this temp. in Charlotte, but up here, it never gets this hot so folks aren't used to it. Give him a break...calling people pansies isn't going to make your penis any bigger, or grow you more brain cells.
My advice: drink water ALWAYS. I have water bottles, about ten of them, that I just fill up and toss in the refrigeration, and drink throughout the day. And, tough it out..work as hard as you can, regardless of the heat. The coaches will see how hard you're working and this will help get you a starting spot...
Look at it this way. If worse comes to worse, you'll pass out of heat stroke, they'll load you on to an ambulance and you get to miss a day of practice or two...and drink water!

[isuckatlax]

lol ^^ poor kid haha

its hot down here to, they even call it hotlanta hehe yall like that? hells yes! it gets hot here, we have to wake up at 6:30 am and then we have weight lifting from 7-8 am then running from 8-9 am and its like 80 degrees then i think, but its pretty hot and really humid, it sucks haha but its good for you! keep working and work hard and youll be fine

[laxboyjt91]

thnks ya i drank like 4 bottles of wate today and i worked hard and the coaches and older kids noticed the coach kept saying like good pass john, stick with it john, good effort john, good job and the like varsity goalie complimented my shots and the older defense against me said i did a good job

[franks2089]

its not a disease its just a condition and i went to doctors and they didnt know what it was
Dude I actually have a disease I have asthma(sp?). I have an abuterol inhaler as well as advair 350/100(the highest dose they make) and I still play. As for talking about your throat closing up, my lung capacity is only 65% of the average persons. My doctors are suprised Im playing, and Im also not complaining.

[pantherLax]

i read in the Times magazine that drinking too much water in a short period can hurt u cuz it dilutes ur blood or sumthing?

Yea I read that article too, they said it messes with your electrolytes(sp?)

[aikitim]

Yea I read that article too, they said it messes with your electrolytes(sp?)

thats why you can mix in some gatorade into your water so like fill a water bottle 7/8 of the way full and fill the rest w/ gatorade and you get the electrolytes you need and it will keep you hydrated w/o all that extra sugar

[isuckatlax]

i usually do it half and half

[laxboyjt91]

i drink like 4 bottles over 10 hours is that bad for you

[Lax45]

Just make sure you drink during the day before practice and that you drink every break you get at practice. As for the weight gain go to GNC and ask for weight gain supplements. Usually a powder that you mix into a shake. I had a friend in high school that was your size and he drank them during the day and at night before bed he drank a shake and ate two PB$J sandwiches. He gained 25lb's in the summer.

[franks2089]

90 thats not bad at all and girls dont even have to wear pads lilaxgurl23 I played my first summer league game in 100+ weather last night.

[franks2089]

Actually I scored most of my goals in the begining of the season which was when it was around 25 degrees outside

[laxboyjt91]

ya im used to playing lacrosse when its like 50 or 40

[franks2089]

Yea in early febuary.

[LymanLax28]

Yeah, while we're all still comparing temperatures here, the coldest it ever was at a game here is the high 50s... and our season starts in February.

[Levin]

This may have already been said... BUT STAY HYDRATED!

[franks2089]

Your average low is 40's, which is probabaly night time. You must have had one off month for it to be 25 for the begining of your season. Whatever, I'm not trying to start anything, lets just keep it at we play in different conditions and are not use to some condtions.Fine drink alot. And to help with some of the heat get a cooler with some ice and water in it and put washclothes in it. Take one out put in in your helmet. The cold water drips down and it feels good. As for hydration depending on your bodyweight you need to drink about 32 ounces minimum per hour if you are doing vigourous activity.

i drink like 4 bottles over 10 hours is that bad for you


whats that like 2Pt's of water? thats not alot.. u should drink at least one of those every hour
