"I'm not a morning person" usually means "I've never had a reason to be one." A squad waiting for you is a good reason. Here is a gradual way to switch.

Week 1: Move Your Bedtime, Not Your Alarm

Shift bedtime earlier by 15 minutes every few nights. Keep your wake-up time steady. Put your phone away from the bed.

Week 2: Prepare the Night Before

Lay out shoes and clothes, fill your water bottle, and decide what you will have afterwards. If you have kids in youth athletics, prep their sports gear at the same time. Removing morning decisions removes morning excuses.

Week 3: Book a Fixed Early-Morning Slot

Pick an early session and treat it like an immovable appointment. Squad training makes this easier because people notice when you are missing.

Week 4: Protect the Habit

Plan for low-energy days: a rule that you show up even if you only do the warm-up game. Coaches scale every game, so you will never be pushed beyond your recovery level.
