What’s in your sports bag?

The content of an athlete’s sports bag can tell a lot, such as things that they find important to their sport and things that are required to even practice. These three athletes share what is most important in their bags for the sports they play.

I have a towel for after practice, suits to wear for practice, a couple pairs of goggles, swim caps, tech suits to wear during big meets such as sectionals, bio freeze for if my shoulders hurt, ear plugs to help keep the water out, earache drops for if I get swimmers ears, and a hair brush for after practice.”

I wear two shirts for sweating, plus a hoodie over that. I wear shorts because I don’t want my knees messed up on the ground. Yet again, I might wear long pants so I can sweat even more because you have to make weight.”

Hunter Richart, wrestler

I have my braces for my ankles and my kneecap because when I tumble they sometimes hurt so I got to wrap them up. I have a few bags of medical supplies because sometimes I get hurt at practice, and if I need bandages or anything, I have it. I have my pom pom set because I always keep it on me; my uniform because we have a game tonight. I have my cheer shoes because ya know, a cheerleader is not complete without her cheer shoes. I also have Febreze fabric spray because they smell awful.”
