Let's get ready You my volleyball bag and inside my volleyball bag I have a lot of different things I have included all the things that I personally bring to tournaments that you guys should definitely consider bringing because I have played a lot of tournaments in my day So we're gonna get into some volleyball essentials for tournaments I highly suggest that you grab a notepad in pencil That way you can write down exactly what I'm telling you Okay, number one in my volleyball bag I have deodorant Okay, now use the deodorant that is best for you but always keep deodorant in your volleyball bag You don't know how many times I have forgotten deodorant in volleyball and end up So that way I bring the owner it with me Okay A water bottle this is my blender bottle. I love this bottle Have a couple of these bottles but bring a water bottle with you because when you do warm ups and different sets and things like that You're gonna want to take a water bottle instead of going to the water fountain constantly lotion, but this is spray on lotion. I don't know if you've ever seen this before but this lotion just sprays on really easily I'm gonna show you It sprays not really easy and then you just rub it in Okay, so I like this spray on lotion because it can come on quicker and it's a nice consistency And this is called spray and go by Vaseline. I really like this lotion. So spray and go by Vaseline Next thing on the list is to bring socks bring extra socks You will need them if your feet get really thick your sweaty. You're gonna want some socks to change into definitely bring extra socks Bring something to do. I'm a big book reader. You guys may not know this, but I love reading I love reading books. I like reading magazines all that kind of stuff so I Bring a book with me and this is one of my favorite books, which is Don't What The Small Stuff by Richard Croson And this is what I bring to terms I bring a book something that I enjoy reading in between sets That way I don't try to get bored The most important one of all bring Snacks with you oranges are a great thing. They help keep up your energy keep you energized So I highly suggest you get some oranges or apple slices Those are great oranges or apple slices are always great Also try to get something with protein in it. So these are Think Finn protein cakes I usually go for linies or layers protein cookies, but these are Think Finn protein cakes And I really like these too So that way it is 12 grams of protein And it's only 170 calories you can't beat that Now this is something that you might not have, but I think it's really cute and I've had this for years This is my change purse So my change purse I have lots of different changing here. I keep some dollar bills in here Um, I keep dollar bills in here and I keep changing here that way if there's a vending machine I have changed to go to the vending machine So I would definitely think about getting a change purse. You don't want your change. I'll loosen your gym bag Inside my gym bag I have this little teeny kind of make up back But it really has hair essentials and it has chapsed it and it has bobby pins and things like that Now you guys don't know this, but my teammates know me as the girl who always has Chaps thick and look loves on the sideline I don't like getting caught now. I don't like my lips to be chapped So I definitely keep chapsed it with me at all times and this chapsick is sugar cookie I got this around Christmas time and it is sugar cookie It's sugar cookie flavor and I keep chapsick with me at all times Also, I'm gonna go through this makeup back so you can see exactly what's in here Keep extra hair ties at all times Extra hair ties it depends when I wear braids or I have a different style. I use more hair pins if uh, I mean I use more scrunchies But right now I'm wearing the giant headband so I use headband sometimes too But bring extra hair ties. I suggest bringing three or four because you never know when another teammate will need one And it's great to help other teammates I also have So I got these bobby pins from the store and what I did was you know they come in the long strip I just cut off half of the strip so that we have a lot of bobby pins You're gonna need more than one or two maybe three four or five So keep some bobby pins with you because you don't want flyaways or if you have bangs You don't want your bangs getting in your face to distract you For the girls out there who have natural hair, which is like mine I bring some hair moisturizer for me So that way I can slick those edges and keep the flyaways out of my face And this is Carol's daughter's hair milk. This is the mini one So I keep this mini hair milk with me at all times I have one of my purse too just in case I need some moisture and or if my hair is really dry because you can feel when it's dry And then I have some lipstick things lipsticks and things but you guys know I love lipstick and that is not mandatory Now also Make sure to bring your bully ball shoes Have your bully ball shoes, but I also have these shoes I also have these shoe balls here that keep my shoes from getting super super spanky So I put these shoe balls in my shoes whenever I take them off and that way it keeps them kind of fresh And keeps them from getting stinky quicker because We don't like stinky shoes and remember volleyball shoes are only for indoors So you need to wear another pair of shoes I usually wear my abs another pair of shoes to the volleyball tournament that you take off between sets Don't keep your volleyball shoes on the entire time you want to give your feet a chance to relax Well, he must use now here on to the clothing items bring a jacket Now even if it is hot and it's a summer day outside you're going to need a jacket Let me tell you why because those places indoors are so air conditioned You don't know how many times I've gone inside when you're not playing and you're freezing cold Bring a jacket that way if you do decide to take a nap Let's say you have a game abide and you guys will play for three games you can fold your jacket up And you can take a nap on it What's more perfect than a nap? I love sleeping. I know you do too Bring an extra pair of pants and suggest it long pants Bring some long pants with you. I have these long pants If I got from Walmart and there are bx they are very comfy yoga pants Bring pants that stretch so you can put them over your spandex I highly suggest that you get pants that go over your spandex because your legs are going to get cold Remember we do not want to get cold Okay, so the rest of the things that I have with me are also very important Bring a phone charger with you Bring a long phone charger. Don't get that phone charger that's really tiny That shrinks to the wall. Get a long. This is a six foot phone charger Get a long phone charger because you don't know where the outlet will be And it's really important that you have a long phone charger. You keep your phone charged Most likely you will be away from your parents and they want to keep in contact with you in your way Bring an extra shirt with you This is one of my go-to shirts. So it says I can't adult today Maybe tomorrow So I bring an extra shirt with me because you will be steady between It's a good city. You'll be sweaty between sets and you definitely want to change shirts You don't want to be sweaty and constantly sticky and stinky It's an uncomfortable feeling and I would rather you change shirts in between sets before you know between your jersey That way you're comfortable I have some kt tape with me is important to keep tape with you Um most of the time that these tournaments there will be an athletic trainer there The athletic trainer will be there to help you for any of your athletic injuries or anything Have an ACL injury a shoulder injury the athletic trainer will be there to help you However, it doesn't hurt to keep your own tape. I keep some of this mulears tape and then I also have some kt tape So both of these tapes are very essential in case I have an injury or a team make needs on so I keep some of these Now here's a tip that you definitely definitely need you might not even think about this Get you an external charger. This is my external phone charger It actually doubles as a mirror now watch this guys. This is cool. This is so cool It doubles as a mirror and it lights up so it doubles as a mirror But you don't have to have one like this But this is an external phone charger and I pluck my phone into this and it charges my phone This is so cool because when you're on the bus and you're on your way home Once again your parents won't be in want to be on contact with you Or you want to be in contact with your teammates or your friends or your group chat Then that way you have something to charge your phone always keep your phone charged when you're away from home Here are some other things and this is for females only Keep some sanitary items with you in your back You never know what amp-low is gonna come to visit you You never know and let you do know But if you do know always keep it in your back because once again We want to also provide for our teammates.
