Can Sports Save The Planet?

Recently I read and interesting article on how the sports industry impacts the enviroment. This is a subject I wasn’t too familiar with prior to reading but immediately began thinking of simple habits that myself and others could make to create a positive change to the environment. Below are my top 3:

  • Carpool to Practice, SAPT, and Games: One minivan uses less fuel and creates fewer emissions than 4 minivans so everyone wins.
  • Carry a Reusable Water Bottle: Ditch the plastic disposable water bottles and opt for something durable enough to go anywhere with you like a Nalgene or canteen.
  • Donate or Recycle Your Old Equipment: Old lacrosse balls and baseballs can serves a number of purposes so before you trash them ensure you get the best out of them. Once the season is over use those balls to roll out some tacked down muscle tissue. Following that, pass them along to a dog who can finish them off as a chew toy.

A little about me: I've worked in pretty much every corner of the fitness industry for about 10 years. I've had the great fortune of spending most of this time working with gifted athletes at every level. I've also had the great opportunity of designing and conducting research projects, writing occasionally for various publications and blogs, competing in powerlifting, and just generally having a killer time pursuing my passions wherever they may take me. Now I own two businesses: one is an athletic performance training company that I started in 2007 at age 26 and the other is a software company startup that was launched in 2014. Paramount to all the awesomeness of my professional career, is my family. My kids are a thrill and my husband continues to be my most critical and important supporter.
