Performance Stations at State Golf

Designed to educate and activate athletes and their supporters in the tenets of fitness: nutrition, hydration, and physical activity. These stations directly connect fitness to sports performance, and show how incorporating these tenets can enhance training, performance at the competition, and health.

Please contact Director of Inclusive Health, Jena Twete at jtwete@specialolympicsco.org with questions.

Hydration: Proper hydration before, during, and after a sports competition requires appropriate attention to beverage type and quantity.  Dehydration can become a major health concern causing lethargy, dizziness and even fainting, however, even mild dehydration can impair participants’ focus and decrease athletic performance. Furthermore, participants need education on the proper beverage selection for their sport. Many athletes prefer sugar sweetened beverages even though water is usually the best choice. This station educates participants on the importance of proper hydration while teaching them about a tasty alternative to sugar sweetened beverages.

Nutrition: Diet provides the fuel for athletes and Unified Partners to participate in sports and live a healthy lifestyle. Making healthy food choices prior to and after sports training and competition enhances performance and optimizes recovery. This station teaches athletes about the importance of selecting healthy options while providing an opportunity for a healthy pre- or post-competition snack.
