Boys U12 Performance enhancers

I realize this might be a touchy subject because everyone has their own secret motivational techniques, but does anyone want to share what they've tried to get a little extra out of the kids on game-days?

It hasn't been easy, but with the cooperation of our parents we now have our entire roster on "anti-inflammatory" drug therapy. It was difficult but most parents realize the importance of placing their sons in a position to compete.

We noticed (and enjoyed) the boost of muscle mass and agression but that has predictably faded. I assume that's because our opponents came "on-line".

Lately we have been mixing red bull with powerade but I am encouraged by the new coke product coming out. Has anyone tried mixing powdered Vivarin in the water keg? I use it regularly but find the boys don't drink enough during the game to have an impact.

Another techinique we have tried with tremendous success are nicotine patches. I have purchased the generic 21mg patches from walmart, cut them into fourths, and applied them to our players arms to great effect.

Please feel free to use these tips and post your own here in this thread.
