Fall break is Oct 12 to 16, and the routine goes out the window.
5 ways to keep your athlete fueled when the school schedule disappears:
1. Keep meals on a rhythm. Breakfast, lunch and dinner at close to the usual times, even with a late start.
2. Pack the cooler the night before any open gym, trip or long day.
3. Keep water in reach all day, not just at practice.
4. Keep bedtime close to normal. Sleep still matters on a break.
5. Hand one dinner to someone else. Cooked fresh, never frozen, by Performance Chef Jesse Brown.
Fall break should feel like a break for parents too. Save this for fall break.
