It might be preventing the tape from pulling your hair out when you take it off or stopping the blood from gushing out of that open wound. Could it be preventing you from spreading an infection? Or, maybe its used for a simple task like keeping your hair out of your face; it could even be holding that perfectly rigged up contraption together. Perhaps it doesnt even serve a purpose at all, but by god it looks cool! No matter what your reason is, pre-wrap is by far one of the greatest inventions ever created…)

101 Uses for Pro-Wrap
- i’m addicted to pre-wrap… but it isn’t my fault!!
The Power of Ice
You’ve heard it before - when you first injure yourself, the best thing to do is grab some ice. How often have you had to scramble to find an ice pack, struggle to get it cold, and then fight to keep it on your injury? While coaches usually have an ice pack somewhere in their kit, it makes sense to be proactive and keep your own pack in your bag or at least in the trunk of your car.
Dr. Peter Lowenberg has designed a line of ice packs designed to fit the ice pack to your injury AND keep it there! Total Ice Therapy products use an ice bag with a screw top combined with a neoprene wrap to provide firm, consistent pressure to maximize healing. The principle behind this is that real ice decreases pain, swelling, and inflammation best. The unique design of these ice wraps makes for easy compliance of a recovery regime because they are easy to use, they stay in place, and you can always get ice anywhere you go.
The best method to treat any sports injury is ICE. Proven to be safe and effective at relieving pain and
decreasing inflammation, ice therapy is an easy self-care technique for conditions of the joints and soft tissue (muscles, ligaments, tendons). It minimizes swelling and bleeding and is always accompanied by rest, compression and elevation. When applied, the athlete goes through the 4 phases of icing: cold, burning, aching, and numbness. These are all perfectly normal.
Cold therapy, also known as cryo-therapy, is most effective in the early or acute stage of inflammation, before range of motion exercises and rehabilitation. It works on the principle of heat exchange whereby the cooler object will absorb the heat from the warmer one, that being your body.
After an injury, surrounding blood vessels that deliver oxygen and nutrients and take away waste products are damaged. Everything slows down and now blood and other fluids seep into the space around muscles, causing swelling, bruising, and pain. Applying ice lowers temperature of the damaged area; constricts or makes blood vessels smaller, thus reducing tissue damage; and slows down nerve impulses, which also decreases pain.
Never use heat right after an injury as it will have the opposite effect of ice and increase pain and swelling of an already damaged region.
When it comes to cooling devices, real ice does a better job than chemical or gel packs because it is able to draw 4 times the amount of heat out of tissue, since it lasts longer at an even temperature, giving a more effective treatment. Most chemical or 1-time-use packs quickly lose their ability to transfer heat and thus their effectiveness to reduce swelling.
Cold therapy should always be used as soon as possible after an injury occurs and at 15-20 minute intervals with a minimum of 1 hour off in-between. In order to maintain the results of the treatment it also should be used any time there is a flare-up.
REMEMBER: IF YOU HURT YOURSELF…YOU NEED TO ICE. Be sure to visit Total Ice Therapy to order your own! If you are an athletic trainer or run an athletic facility, these are great to have on hand!

Girls Volleyball:Top 5 Ways To Get The Varsity Volleyball Coach To Notice You
Okay, some freshmen girls who play volleyball CAN rely on pure physical raw talent when it comes to being considered for the Varsity team but there are some things you can do if you are a little less physically endowed. To get the volleyball Coach to notice you just check out these tips and apply them to your next practice.
1. Come Early, Leave Late to Practice. For girls volleyball practice, I used to come to my High School gym one half hour before practice and lay in the middle of the gym and just visualize that the court was mine. Seriously, I convinced myself that anything that happened on that court, any ball that came on my side I was personally going to be responsible for. Nothing was going to fall in defense and no one was going to dig my hits. I think something worked because we made it to the California State Championships for the first time my senior year. I chose to to come early and/or stay late to exercise my mental skills but I also did it to practice serving and individual wall drills for setting and passing as well.
2. Become the most effective server on your girl’s volleyball team. Read the article the “Girl’s Volleyball: Top 5 Places to Serve After a Team Timeout” to learn how to become Your volleyball team’s most effective server.
3. Okay its not a movie about girl’s volleyball but still GO rent the DVD movie “Rudy” starring Sean Astin…Watch it …then adopt his “never quit” attitude. Period.Yeah, it’s a football movie - but it’s the best one you will ever see AND you’d be surprised how many conditioning drills in football are similar to the ones we do in girls volleyball. Just watch the movie.
4. Go After EVERY Ball in Defense. For your girls volleyball practice adopt the “Rudy” attitude in defense and make any ball in defense YOUR ball. Decide that nothing falls around you or in your immediate area. Take pride in TRYING to get every ball up so your team has another chance to play it and make a point or side out.
5. Become the Backrow Quarterback for your girl’s volleyball team. Talk to your teammates before, during and after the game and give them valuable information about what you see happening. Direct traffic by calling out plays you see developing. This isn’t difficult because many times a backrow player - if she’s concentrating can see a play developing just like the front row player or sooner. So if you see the Right Front player sliding over to run the “X ” Don’t keep this information to yourself! Call it out “Watch the X” Watch number 15 coming around” Say it Loud enough so everyone can hear it. If you see the fake “X” developing which is what alot of setters call after running the X “Call it out” out loud…”watch number 15 coming around for the fake X”. Let the blockers hear you, let your defense hear you…just commentate. Secrets?
There are no secrets on the court. Let your teammates know what to expect. If a player goes through the front row rotation and all the points she made were by wiping off the block or hitting cross court, the next time she rotates up to the Left Front YOU go up and out loud and tell YOUR front row blockers in a LOUD voice “Hey that #15 the last time hit everything Xcourt. Be ready for her Xcourt attack.” Besides this being a very good way of “getting inside” your opponent’s head it let’s your coach know that you are a smart volleyball player that is making yourself aware of what is going on in the game and is doing what it takes to help your team win. Question: How Tall do you have to be a good Backrow Quarterback? Answer: Size just doesn’t matter!!!!
