Raleigh Firebirds/Dillard Drive Middle School
Remember how I said last week that we’re doing a super cool Raleigh Firebirds Day at Leesville Road Middle School? Well, guess what…we’re doing another one at Dillard Drive Middle School! These Raleigh Firebirds days are a super cool way for us to stay active in the community and for local middle schoolers to learn from professional athletes and about future careers in sports. We’re looking forward to this event, taking place just two days before our home opener!
Duke Health Recap from STEM Fair
In case you missed our Health and STEM fair on February 15th, Duke Health wrote the following recap of what happened at the fair:
A team from the Duke Voice Care Center, including Leda Scearce, M.M., M.S., CCC-SLP, Dan Sherwood, CCC-SLP, and Eileen Raynor, MD, provided vocal health education at the Raleigh Firebirds STEM and Health Fair on Saturday, February 15, at the Marsh Creek Community Center in Raleigh. They answered participants' questions about vocal health, distributed informational materials, and gave a short presentation on how the voice works, how voice problems develop, and how to prevent them.
The Raleigh Firebirds, a professional men's basketball team in The Basketball League (TBL), are deeply involved in the community, with STEM and health education being two of their top initiatives. Saturday's health/STEM Fair was a great opportunity for local STEM and health organizations to share information with young boys from a local middle school mentored by the Firebirds, citizens from the Raleigh community, and college students from Louisburg College.
Thank you to the Raleigh Firebirds and Raleigh Parks and Rec for inviting us to participate.
It’s Training Camp Week!
Training camp starts this week! It’s a super exciting time for the Firebirds, as we assemble our final roster that you’ll be seeing so much of this season. Our first training camp practice is Wednesday at 7 PM. After that, there’ll be a series of practices besides our normal evening ones, including some very early morning track and pool sessions. Make sure to stay tuned to Firebird Focus for exclusive training camp content that you won’t find anywhere else!
Fitness Tip of the Day
When it comes to eating, make sure you avoid large meals or heavy foods before bed! While they can make you feel drowsy, they negatively affect your quality of sleep.
Make sure to stay tuned for Wednesday’s edition, and all the training camp news that follows!
Until then,
