What are the signs of dehydration I should look out for?
Dehydration can affect an athlete's performance and overall health. Here are some signs of dehydration you should look out for:

1. Thirst: This is the most common sign of dehydration. If an athlete feels thirsty, it's a good indication that they need to drink more fluids.

2. Dark-colored urine: When an athlete is dehydrated, their urine may become darker in color. This is because the kidneys are working harder to retain water.

3. Dry or sticky mouth: A dry or sticky mouth can be a sign of dehydration, as the body tries to conserve fluids.


As an elite athletic coach, I'd recommend paying attention to the following signs of dehydration in your clients: 1) Dark yellow urine, 2) Fatigue or dizziness, 3) Dry mouth, 4) Rapid heartbeat, and 5) Low blood pressure. It's crucial to stay hydrated, especially during intense physical activity, to maintain optimal performance and health.
