NUTRITION QUICK TIPS #2
Carbohydrates are the fuel for your activity. That means a moderate amount of fruit, breads, pasta, and vegetables should be included at every meal. Choose cereals and toast for breakfast, sandwiches and pizza for lunch, and baked potatoes with dinner. Carbohydrate fluids are very important during and after workouts and games.
Athletes lose a great deal of water through sweat during training and competition. It is very important to replace that water as soon as possible during events. That’s right, don’t wait till after the final buzzer because dehydration can cause a decrease in strength and speed. Train to drink fluids during games and practices. It is very important to get a little bit of water every 15 minutes, especially in the heat.
Good luck!
