After my first day of competition I put on compression socks. They help me recover for the next day.

I need to have proper equipment when I work out, and the Nike Frees are light, comfortable, and great for training. I also usually bring a short-sleeve or long-sleeve compression shirt and a pair of shorts.

I do some weights and I do a lot of stretching.

I find this mortifying to admit, but I have one of those balls that helps my posture. They're hard to sit on, so it stops me from sitting too long... I also wear a pair of 3M(TM) PELTOR(TM) Optime(TM) II Ear Muffs. They're the same ones that people wear on the tarmac among the planes - noise blockers.

Playing basketball all my life, I've collected a lot of different basketball shoes. It's pretty much all I wear.

I do a variety of weight-lifting, elliptical glider, stretching exercises, push-ups.

My back has been compressed and operated on, my feet have been surgically cut up, and I have a knee that's just going wacky. So I do my own driving, and I ski and skate. I'm playing hockey again. Anything that immobilizes my feet I'm OK with.

Having my feet be as good as I want them to be can get me out of a lot of problems when I'm in the pocket and stuff starts to break down. There's rarely ever a perfect pocket.

Exercise? I get it on the golf course. When I see my friends collapse, I run for the paramedics.
