Whenever I’m coaching, my girls are constantly asking for various oils to help them be at their best for competition. When I was at team camp last week, I talked to a few different coaches about what we use so I thought I would share for other sport coaches or sport mamas out there. Here are the products that I feel are essential in our gym and for my volleyball players and athletes. I love that I can keep everything in a small bag with me to address a variety of needs each and every day both for girls just handling adolescence but also for common physical complaints that come from the sport or any athletic endeavor.
Deep Blue – a natural icy hot type lotion that my girls use for sore muscles. I love rubbing on my shoulders and feet after long practices or a tournament.
Correct X – a healing ointment that has some major healing oils in but is only $12! This tube is awesome for floor burns from playing defense but is also great for chapped or dry lips.
Clary calm – useful for women DAILY but especially helpful during monthly cycles to help alleviate pain from cramps and emotional support.
Past Tense – addresses headache pain and any tension – teens and the ppl that care for them never have that right?!?! (I also have them rub this on their stomachs if they are experiencing cramps and it seems to help).
MitoMax2 – a natural energy supplement that my players take a half hour before a game or midway during a tournament to keep their energy up and get a boost of “pump up” before a big game. I also take it before games as it helps me stay focused.
Peppermint – did you know that one drop of peppermint in your water has been shown to increase your athletic performance by up to 50% (research done on runners)? It also helps alleviate nausea or just to keep your water tasting colder during your game or tournament.
If you want any of these, just let me know and I can put them on my order for a little discount or you can just try out a sample and see if you like it…..if you want your own account, we can meet up and I’ll tell you how (similar to Costco….sign up, get cheaper prices…..you never have to host a class or “sell it” to others).
**Edited Tuesday night – today’s Buy One Get One deal (that I’m spamming all my FB friends with) is to buy a peppermint ($20.50 wholesale) and get the Past Tense for free – it’s like they knew I wrote this post!!!!! Anyway, if you want to try it just message me and I’ll pick one up for you!!!!**
