Practical hydration education you can use tomorrow at practice. Short reads, clear checklists, and coach-tested protocols — no sales pitch required.
One-minute lessons for busy coaches. Every week we release a short, evidence-based video breaking down a single hydration concept you can use at your next practice.
Topics range from pre-practice fluid loading to hot-weather adjustments to recognizing early signs of dehydration in young athletes.
You don't need a nutrition degree. You need short, reliable answers to the questions that come up every week.
As a general guide, every 15–20 minutes during moderate to hard activity. In heat, more often. The best practices build these breaks into the plan so athletes don't rely on thirst as a cue.
For most practices over about 60 minutes — especially in heat — water alone isn't ideal. Athletes lose sodium in sweat, and replacing it helps performance, focus, and recovery.
Cramping, headaches, unusual fatigue, unusually poor decision-making late in practice, and dark urine are all common early signals. Any one of them warrants a conversation with the athlete.
No. Coach's Corner is free, and always will be. Our mission is hydration education first. If Acuity ends up being a fit for your program later, that's a bonus.
We're building Acuity with coach feedback. Request samples and we'll share updates as new resources drop.
