Alcohol and athletes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Over the weekend, an interesting tweet came across my Twitter account.\u00a0 The first thing that caught my attention was that it was a re-tweet from Missy Tiber<\/strong>.\u00a0 Coach Tiber was the head women’s basketball coach at Belmont Abbey College<\/strong> near Charlotte, N.C., when I was an NSR scout.\u00a0 I visited the Belmont Abbey campus numerous times and always stopped by Missy’s office to say hello and to talk about her team and her recruiting needs.\u00a0\u00a0 We would often run into each other at regional girls basketball showcases and tournaments.\u00a0 Over time we developed a nice relationship.\u00a0 She went on to become the head women’s coach at Southern Illinois University<\/strong> and today is the head women’s hoops coach at the University of Northern Alabama<\/strong>.\u00a0 So, when I saw her\u00a0name attached to a tweet, I\u00a0was naturally curious to read what she thought significant enough to\u00a0pass along to others.\u00a0\u00a0Here was that tweet:\u00a0“A weekend of hard drinking erases a week of hard training. Alcohol=poison for athletes, trashes the body, slows & weakens you in every way.”<\/p>\n

That short statement became the inspiration for this blog entry.\u00a0 As often is the case, once the corner of a page is turned, it is impossible for me to not turn it in full and see what the next page has to offer.\u00a0 In this case, I immediately wanted to find out more facts about the effects of alcohol on athletic training, especially on high school athletes.\u00a0 Off I went on an adventure into Cyber World to find what lay beneath the tweet.<\/p>\n

As it turned out, however, I didn’t have to search far to find the perfect article<\/a>, “Alcohol and Athletes.”\u00a0 Published by the Office of Alcohol and Drug Education at Notre Dame University, this exceptional piece of information is backed by well-founded research and covers the topics How Alcohol Affects Muscle Development and Recovery<\/em> and How Alcohol Affects Your Ability to Learn New Plays and Strategies<\/em>.\u00a0 Sidebar topics are wide-ranging and helpful in delving deeper into this important aspect of athletics. It\u00a0even goes so far as to\u00a0provide a list of NCAA banned drugs and the specific NCAA rules to which the use or abuse of alcohol and drugs apply.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
