Pre-Workout Fuel

⚫ Make sure you eat a combination of protein and carbohydrate before a workout.

⚫ Carbohydrates are considered fuel for your body and are what keep you energized throughout your training.

⚫ The more you train, the more carbohydrates you need!

⚫ Protein primes your muscles to help you perform at your best.

⚫ Sometimes eating right before a workout can cause stomach or GI discomfort in training. Try 30-60 minutes before.

⚫ Ideally, you should fuel your body about 1-4 hours pre-workout, depending on how your body tolerates food.

⚫ Make sure you experiment during practice to figure out what best works for you.

⚫ Never explore during game day.
