Bluetooth speaker
“Music helps me get through my day,” says Montgomery. “I usually listen to Drake, A Boogie, and, because I am from Long Island, Billy Joel.”
Laptop / phone charger
Electronics are a part of every student’s pack these days. Notebooks and dead phone batteries seem to be a rare find today.
Snacks
Food for this ballplayer is critical. “Everyone who knows me knows that I love food and that I am always getting hungry.” Montgomery carries a big jar of mixed nuts and a Gatorade Protein Bar with him at all times.
Water bottle
Fall in his hometown of New York and fall in the Florida sun are very different beasts. For Montgomery, who is often shuttling between class, workouts, and practice, a water bottle for hydration is a must-have.
An extra pair of sneakers
Nike is this athlete’s go-to brand.
“As an athlete, I always have three pairs of sneakers—one pair usually lasts only about a year.”
