    Beam & my feet!

    I know this is nasty, but my feet sweat alot when I get on beam. so I ask for chalk. I get the chalk,and then all my teamates"need" some! Then there is barely enough for me!! Is there like antipersperint for your feet or something like that so I don't have to worry about getting chalk?:confused:
