6-Notes on Sunday
Hi there!
Here is your weekly dose of “6-Notes on Sunday,” a list of ideas, products, episodes, quotes, exercises, and more that we believe are worth sharing.
Balance your blood sugar for better performance —
We shared this guest post from nutritionist Abby Housefield on how to make sure you can have energy throughout a workout or a game through balancing what you eat. And here’s a list of high-calorie carbs, fats, and proteins that will help you implement Abby’s suggestions.
Think you can’t complain for three weeks —
Does anyone want to accept this challenge with us to stop complaining for 21 days? It seems like it would be hard but also worth it… just need to reframe a few conversations and our attitude towards the negatives in our lives.
ICYMI on Slack: Rehabbing an Achilles —
Recently asked on the Slack #rehab channel: “I was diagnosed with Achilles tendinitis… Besides resting and taking a hiatus from playing, does anyone have any other recommendations to alleviate the tendinitis?” Check out the responses from our coaches.
We’re loving this podcast from Nike —
Nike just released a podcast called “Trained” that explores the cutting-edge of holistic fitness to help make you a better trainer and athlete. We liked the latest two about sleep and diet. The episodes with Brett Kirby and Shalane Flanagan are also recommended.
Gratitude Note —
Last week, we found out that a local coffee shop in the Boston area now have the reusable straws we shared in a previous 6-notes for purchase. It’s cool to see how small things can make big changes! Here are a few other items we suggest to help with reducing our use of plastic. Reusable produce and grocery bags.
See you at Nationals —
If you will be in San Diego for the 50 Years of Ultimate Celebration or to compete in the USA Ultimate Club Nationals – both Tim and Jimmy from the MP team will be attending – We’d love to meet up with you!! Can’t make out – watch the games online (streaming schedule)Please give us feedback and offer suggestions by replying to this email or reaching out on Facebook or Instagram.
