    Personal Trainer

    During the off-season, Sydney relies on running to keep herself fit. However, she is not a fan of running on the treadmill and instead loves to run in outdoors. Also, she doesn’t have a fixed schedule. Some days, she likes to go for a run first thing in the morning, while there are days when she goes running late in the evening or at night. Apart from running, she loves to go for Spin classes as well.

    In case, she is hungry before going out for a run, she loves to have peanut butter and apples. Sometimes, she will also chug down a smoothie. After a run, she always refuels with water.

    Before a match, she likes to fuel up on carbs and proteins. Her preferred options are mashed potatoes, fried eggs, and pancakes. A night before the game, she likes to eat spaghetti or on some occasions, miso-glazed salmon. However, she isn’t too strict about her diet and doesn’t go overboard in restricting certain food items. When traveling, she makes sure that she is eating healthy by taking some fruit along.
