A good heat pad can help with recovery, using it after a hard training or maybe even before can eventually boost your health and your performance.
Heat Pad
I highly recommend getting a fitness tracker. This can help with understanding your body as an athlete. Garmin is fairly affordable and comes in multiple styles.
Smartwatches with Fitness and Health Tracking
These I definitely recommend. As athletes our feet stink. Let's be honest. These prevent the horrible stench of an athlete's foot in a shoe.

Every athlete should be using resistance bands for either training or warm-ups which is why this is included.

This is also another given. Athletic tape has a wide variety of uses for athletes. Whether it is taping an injury or holding a part of your gear secure to your body, it is extremely helpful and every athlete should have at least a roll in their bag.

Very similar to the short sleeve description, but personally I prefer the long sleeve better because it insulated everything and I often warm-up faster with the long sleeve as compared to the short sleeves.

Supplements
Supplements that every athlete should be taking.
Creatine is one of the most helpful supplements any athlete can consume if they want to increase strength. I highly recommend taking if you want to get stronger.
Creatine
Whey Protein is the best protein supplement out there. It gives a sufficient amount for any athlete. Protein also aids in recovery and muscle building. This plus creatine will create an incredible body.

Beetroot juice enhances oxygen and blood flow to the muscles in the body. Blood flow helps with recovery and performance.

Caffeine is something that every athlete should be taking. Coffee is a much cleaner source than most energy drinks. The caffeine would help a lot with increased performance especially with weight training.
