What is in the bag?
 

I am here trying to get ready for my Christmas Tournaments and thinking about all the stuff I have to put in the bag.

OK guys let us have a little fun, what do you put in your bag? How many shirts? How many pants? What undergarments? Hair products? Any IcyHot? Sock? Orthotics?

Basically I just want to know what you put in your bag and what you cannot live without if you forgot that item in your bag?

I tried to lighten it up but then a partner forgot his shirt and I put extras in my bag just in case....

Are we to understand you go sockless AND commando? :eek:

I carry most of the usual stuff everyone else has listed plus I carry around a few past evaluations and a list of things that I need to work on. I review them for a few minutes prior to my partner arriving and have a goal or two that I want to work on.

No, you are not. :)

I forgot to mention the unmentionables.

I did have to work a ms game in white socks this year. Now I have spare compression shorts, socks, and undershirts.

Only things I don't see listed already are:

1 Snickers bar (I eat anywhere from a single bite to the whole thing between 1 hour to 45 minutes before tip)

1 Gatorade small pregame drink thing (30 minutes before tip)

1 Gatorade post game drink thing

1 tall bottle of Smart Water

1 small can of Static Guard

1 plastic hanger

1 stretchy resistance band with handles

2 neoprene thigh compression sleeves (for the hamstrings)

...I like wearing the black tights that are illeagal for the players to wear (if they are wearing shorts)...my dirty little secret. ;)

...oh yes, and compression sleeves for my calves.

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of the Year ...
 

... and a partridge in a pear tree.

My P the other night had more Under Armor on than an early Ravens Team on a commercial! Never saw that before. But hey, whatever works best for you......

lol...I've been wearing it for years. I know quite a few guys that use it...also, if you have to share a locker room with gals...its not so bad to get caught with your pants down. ;)
