Hailey Van Lith is posing in her TCU uniform and heating up her social media feed. In a new post the college basketball star drives her followers wild in some promo pics for the NCAA women’s basketball season. “The Intro,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Revenge tour,” commented one of her followers. “So fine,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
Hailey maintains a meat-free diet. However, she does eat seafood. “I’m a pescetarian now,” she revealed in a video and makes sure to eat enough protein. She eats “just fish and eggs” and “no chicken, no red meat,” she said. “I eat dairy products, but not animals.”
One way Hailey ensures healthy eating is by cooking her own meals. She told ESPN that she has a hobby in the kitchen – she is “addicted” to baking shows. “I’m a little baker,” she said. “I watch all the shows.
It’s not all natural talent for Haile. She has a strong “work ethic,” she explained to ESPN. “Results might not come now but they will come later. And I’m willing to work as hard as I need to.” She has also said that she is “addicted” to basketball.
Hailey hydrates during her games, but when off the court you can find her drinking coffee. There are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” says Cleveland Clinic, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.
Hailey’s training is “off the chart” according to her coach. She gets her body ready for basketball with a rowing machine. “I watched her on a rowing machine and the thing was about to burn up. I’ve never seen a kid go so hard. It’s just what she does,” he told the Courier-Journal. According to AFPA Fitness, a rowing machine exercises your upper body as well as your lower body. “The rowing stroke when using an indoor rower is composed of 65-75% leg work and 25-35% upper body work,” they say.
