Preseason Pep Talk by Kaitlan Mitchell


FH Life Intern


When you crave being out on the turf as much as you want a rocky road sundae on a hot summer's day, you know it's a telltale sign. When your field hockey packet becomes more important than your summer work schedule, you know you’re committed. You might as well change your status on Facebook to, "In a relationship with: Field Hockey."


Preseason is a chance to gear up for fall – preparing for the competition. The summer is used to gain confidence for those early weeks of preseason which are filled with three-a- days and timed running tests. The large amount of training time required to complete your summer packet can be overwhelming. It is not uncommon to experience anxiety or worry throughout those months leading up to preseason. Although your thoughts are running faster than your timed mile, there are many things to look forward to.
