AB Staying  well  is  important  for  all  athletes  when  travelling  domestically  and  internationally,  as  illness  can  have  a  significant  impact  on  performance  (Gordon  et  al.  2017;  Raysmith  &  Drew  2016).  Infections,  particularly  of  the  respiratory  and  gastrointestinal  tracts  (Edouard  et  al.  2014,  2019;  Dvorak  et  al.  2011;  Sell  et  al.  2013;  Soligard  et  al.  2017),  are  a  common  cause  of  illness  in  this  setting  and  have  the  potential  to  spread  very  quickly  in  a  team  environment  (Schwellnus  et  al.  2020).  Managing  sleep,  food  intake  and  emotional  wellbeing  are  also  important.
