Madison Edgewood junior Erin Schauer likes to get a jump on the day.
Schauer, a 5-foot-9 guard for the Edgewood girls basketball team, regularly gets up around 4:30 a.m. and gets in a workout at a fitness club before starting the school day and diving into her coursework. She finds a basket and works on her shooting and also might lift weights, depending on the day.
“It’s definitely become a routine, getting up early,” Schauer said. “I like to be productive in the morning. I get some shooting in before the school day and then you have practice after. I feel more prepared to know I can count on my shooting. It builds confidence getting extra reps in.”
