Consuming a sound diet does not have to be complicated and complex. But it is very important for you to eat well in order to have the fuel you need to play and compete at your best. Make sure you eat 3 balanced meals each day and an additional 2-3 nutritional snacks. Eat a variety of foods and try to limit any fast-food intake, especially on game days. The two most important times to make sure you get the energy you need are at breakfast and after training. The importance of eating properly after training or competing is often overlooked. The emphasis has always been placed on pre-game or pre-training meals, which are important. However, replenishing and replacing the energy and fluids used during practice or games is very important to prevent muscle breakdown. This means eating a meal with carbohydrates, protein, and a little fat, plus re-hydrating with water or a sports drink. While a good healthy meal is important on game day, don’t forget how important a healthy breakfast is every day and to eat well after practice or a game to aid recovery.
