I hooped for 12 years and let me tell u that I fucking HATED hooping in the morning(practice or game). Your muscles aren’t fully awake/they’re sore from the previous day,your cognitive functions aren’t 100% ready and it’s so hard to eat properly and in the best time frame possible before it(cos u need to be on an empty stomach for 1,5-2 hours before u hoop). Best time to go hoop is mid day
