Why it Matters
Tournament days are long cold and unpredictable. When we are not prepared it is easy to spend the whole day thinking about how uncomfortable we are instead of paying attention to what is happening on the field.
Having a survival kit takes some of that stress away. Warm layers extra chargers snacks and the right gear make it possible to be present for the big plays and the small moments in between.
For me this is less about collecting things and more about creating space to enjoy this short season of life sitting in the stands watching my kid do what she loves.
