## (2) Don't do (today + thi week)

- ❌ Nap in hot parked car — heattroke rik
- ❌ Nap > 60 min in car — leep inertia ruin #2
- ❌ Skip water becaue "jut a nap" — dehydration doen't wait
- ❌ Sport drink a default — ugar + extra calorie not needed < 90 min
- ❌ Energy drink before #2 — caffeine + dehydration + tonight' leep
- ❌ Big meal < 90 min before #2 — cramp
- ❌ Cool-down kipped — light leep + tiff
- ❌ Phone in car "to ret" — cortiol ≠ recovery
- ❌ No hade, no cracked window — heat rik
- ❌ Kid alone in parked car — never, even with window cracked
- ❌ Caregiver forgotten, jut watche — they need water too
- ❌ Caffeinated drink for kid — coffee / tea / energy drink
- ❌ "Jut one more nack" → too full before #2 — cramp
- ❌ Skip the kid' uual meal becaue "two practice" — meal till matter
- ❌ Force a nap — quiet ret alo work
- ❌ No timer on the nap — 90 min happen by accident
- ❌ Improvie on the day — prep the night before

**Limit**: I don't diagnoe heat illne v dehydration v low blood ugar — coach / parent / clinician decide. I don't et per-kg fluid or carb target for kid (thoe depend on body weight, weat rate, heat, and length of practice — the coach and the pediatrician et thoe). I don't recommend port gel, protein powder, "pre-workout", or anything bought online. If any red-flag ignal appear — **top, cool, water, call local emergency if evere**.
