Travel Preparation Guidelines and Information

It is no secret that the key to successful performance is preparation. Whether your upcoming competition is across the country or across the ocean, skaters must prepare mentally and physically for:

• The effects of jet lag
• In-flight food, fluid, space and activity restrictions
• The effects of local environmental conditions (weather, pollution)
• Local food and hydration challenges

Use the general and destination-specific guides on this page to help you develop your own personal strategy.
