[Music] hey y'all it's Lana Rivera welcome to a day in the life of a USF softball player everyone meet Fallon she's 3 months look at this little stink my roommate and teammate JY [Music] Foreman good morning everybody AB here and I'm just chilling with my old teammate Alana um as you saw her morning routine getting ready and everything this is kind of funny me sitting here like this right now with the mic we played together it was your what my freshman year your freshman year my fifth year yeah it was a grandma senior anyways I just wanted to kind of sit down and let's just tell everybody what a normal day in the life looks like for you on game day and then I will tell you guys what my normal game day routine looked like in the morning when I played here at USF passing the mic so mine is a little different now that I have a dog but what it usually is is I'll wake up get ready walk the dog I'll probably have rehab in the morning depends on what time games are too so today we have a double header at 3:30 team meal at 9:45 before that I was going to start rehab after that I'll finish rehab and then I have a doctor's appointment at 10:30 and we have to be down at the field for pregame BP at 11:15 I think coach will let me take a couple hacks have to slide in there and be like hey guys hey can I get some reps in here and then we'll have rest and recovery at 1 to 2 and then we'll have to be back at the field at 2 when I was at USF from 2016 and 2021 our first like couple years we didn't have mandatory Champs it's not terrible all the time so basically Champs is our dining hall it's right next to our athletic center which I will show you all I would always do my game day pancakes it was a ritual for me you don't have a go-to breakfast like on Starbucks at least what kind of what your Starbucks order a vanilla sweet cream cold brew with com foam or she has her Starbucks order written down the chocolate hazelnut cookie cold brew my go-to is usually a ventti I shake an espresso with no classic syrup oat milk and then if I'm feeling a little flavor that day I'll do like some sugarfree one but so yeah that was usually my game day ritual but then last season went on they gave us Bagels Plus which if you're in Tampa you've never been to Bagels Plus Bagels you never got bagels yet or I've got it but not as like a this year dude when we found out Bagels Plus was in the locker room that was always like a fire day okay wait who do we play today setson double header ston all right opinions on double headers do you like double header days they're just really long mhm but I like playing softball so we love it we are now heading over to University of South Florida Athletics and Alana is going to show us the locker room mhm my old locker room but we'll let
