We sometimes did 2 a days and we didn't have a water bottle. We were told water makes you weak. Our dad would pick us up from practice and give my brother and I a half of a lemon each. I guess it's because we were always outside all year running around. Our mom (who I consider a saint) would make us stay outside, she wasn't having a bunch of boys messing up her house plus we had plenty of chores.With that said, kids today stay in inside way too much and that probably makes it harder to acclimate themselves when football practice comes around.
