Expert Answer

Create a protective barrier between the helmet and your hair, like a hat or a cap—this prevents the friction from messing with your hair too much. You can also put your hair in a low ponytail or low bun so it can stick out of the helmet.

Expert Answer

Basketball jerseys are super unique and should be the base of your outfit. Style your favorite jersey with a lightweight jogger to stick with the athleisure vibe of the jersey. French tuck the jersey by tucking the front of your jersey into your pants to create an elevated, yet casual, vibe. Finish the look off with your favorite pair of lifestyle sneakers such as a Nike AirForce 1 or a simple white sneaker.

Question

Why do I get muscle pain in my arms and legs after playing sports?

Karley Snyder

Community Answer

Your arms and legs will feel sore because you are using and developing your muscles. The stronger your arm and leg muscles become, the less they will hurt! Be sure to stretch before and after practice to help reduce the muscle pain!

Question

I'm a sporty girl, and I play soccer. Whenever I get hurt, I go right back to playing. Do I really have to stop whatever I have to do and let it heal for a day?

Karley Snyder

Community Answer

It depends on the severity of your injury. If you have a minor fall and get a small bruise, you can take a break, stretch, rehydrate, and then go back to playing. Though, for more serious injuries like if you pull a muscle or ligament, you surely should let your body heal before you play again. See your doctor so you know how serious the injury is. If you don't let your body heal, you could make the injury worse!

Question

What time should I wake up?

Community Answer

Ideally, if you are a student, wake up two hours or more before school starts. However, if you mean on the weekend, just calculate about eight hours to figure out what time you should wake up.

Question

What do I do if there are minor injuries?

Community Answer

For minor injuries, your healthcare provider will likely recommend RICE. RICE stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. Doing these things can help limit pain and swelling after an injury. Use RICE for sprains, strains, and severe bruises or bumps. If RICE doesn't help after a few days, talk to your doctor.

Question

What if people know me as a mean girl?

D Girl

Community Answer

Be nice. Get more involved with sports, compliment people and just generally be nice. Try making the change over a school holiday, people are more likely to accept the fact that you’ve changed. Don’t give anyone a reason to think of you as mean, and they won’t. Also, don’t overdo it with the compliments or people will think you are fake.
