Let me begin by saying that during the primaries, i voted for Marco Rubio and after Trump won the primaries, I did not immediately say, "hey, now i'm voting for Trump." I actually looked at my different options from trump, to Johnson, to even Evan Mcmullin. After doing my research on all of the candidates i decided that I sided more with Trump on more issues and I felt that maybe he had the potential to run the country the best out of all of them. I know that Donald Trump said A LOT of stupid things, but I do believe that Donald Trump has the potential to turn this country around with the help of his future cabinet as well as the house and the senate; we just need to give him a chance. Trump is a very good business man and I believe that he could help the economy of the United States and maybe take away some of the national debt that we have acquired over the years.He has even gone as far as to not take a salary and he also said that he does not want Boeing to build a new Air Force One because he want to use his own plane. Let's be honest, his foreign policy is still kind of spotty, but he never really had to do much with foreign policy because he was not a career politician and he is just now learning the ropes about it all, but he has already started giving some commentary on certain foreign policy issues such as dealing with the United Nations or about if we should help Israel. The last thing I will say about it is that I do believe that Donald Trump will put the American people first. I know that a lot of people think that he will put America on the back burners when he gets in, but he has already shown that he wants to put us first. After the hurricane in Louisiana, he was down there helping them out and he even paid for a truck full of supplies to help the people out. He also wants to set up a plan to help out failing schools and try to make them better and he wants to try to fix cities that are starting to fail. Like I said at the beginning: he has said stupid things, but I believe that if we all get behind and try to do our best to help him, that maybe we could unite this country and maybe turn America into something great.

1. It's just the basics.
I think we all know this but just to remind everyone, deodorant goes such a long way! If you are an athlete who does not like the white residue some deodorants leave then try using a spray deodorant. Either way do not walk into any type of practice, game, whatever without putting on deodorant.
2. Just an easy tip.

3. As a college student, I get it.
I get it, we are in college, some are away from home, not a lot of responsibility. One thing that should ALWAYS be a responsibility is clean clothes. If you know you are all out of practice clothes, your practice jersey smells terrible, etc.. GO WASH IT!
Nobody wants to work with someone who smells musty and nasty the whole time. And you definitely don't want to be the person is who looked at as the nasty one on the team. It's simple, just plan ahead and wash your clothes.
4. Time to be real.

We all sweat by our private areas, the only thing I can say that can help eliminate odors in private areas when sweating is grooming. So if you have lots of hair around your private hair more then likely odors will be present.
All I can say is try to stay clean down there if you sweat a lot by your private area take extra measures like soaking in apple cider vinegar with lukewarm water.
5. Shower right after.

6. Another get real moment.
Ladies, sometimes playing sports and being on your period can be hard. Try to stay fresh and clean down there. If you aren't a tampon person, make sure that you always have extra pads with you. After practices or games wash extra good in those areas just to ensure any bad odors are gone.
7. Take home your clothes.
If you have lockers, make sure that you are taking home your practice clothes with you. If you don't smells will soon start to build up. If you have to keep your clothes in your locker try to add a small air freshener
8. Be nice!

9. Disinfect!
if you play a sport that requires lots of contact with other people or objects try to disinfect have much as you can. it is better to disinfect. With everyone sweating, bacteria can start to build up.
Also, in all honesty, you never know what someone may have(a skin infection, a cut, etc..), so better to be safe than sorry when it comes to disinfecting equipment.
10. Just keep up with yourself.
I always say, just keep up with yourself. I understand you may be very busy but your hygiene is so important, taking care of yourself is important! Stay clean, create your own hygiene routine, and you'll be ok.
There it is! Hygiene is something we can all agree on is important. So keep up it, care about your hygiene!
