Personal trainer

In the off-season, Sydney relies on running to keep fit. However, she is not a fan of treadmill running and instead loves running outdoors. Also, she doesn’t have a fixed schedule. Some days she likes to run first thing in the morning, some days she likes to run late in the evening or at night. Aside from running, she also enjoys taking spin classes.

In case she’s hungry before heading out, she loves peanut butter and apples. Sometimes she also chugs a smoothie. After a run, she always fills up with water.

Before a match, she likes to fill up on carbohydrates and proteins. Her favorite options are mashed potatoes, fried eggs, and pancakes. She likes to eat spaghetti or the occasional misoglazed salmon the night before the game. However, she’s not too strict about her diet and doesn’t go overboard when it comes to restricting certain foods. When she travels, she ensures a healthy diet by taking fruit with her.
