Toni and I also discuss “food fear” in today’s society and her thoughts on the topic, as well as what she recommends in terms of sleep for athletes and how lack of sleep has a domino effect on an athlete’s day.  We finish off this podcast talking about proper hydration for a student-athlete and what dehydration does to the body.
