Being an athlete these days means doing everything you possibly can to give yourself a chance to be successful. This is true now more than ever due to all of the information that is out there and all of the specialty coaches and trainers. What I have learned over and over again through my own playing days and afterwards as a coach and trainer is that above anything else you can do on the field and in the weight room is the way that you take care of your body and what you put in to it. Nutrition is the building blocks of anything that you do as an athlete because if you are not taking care of your body you will not have the energy to make the most out of your workouts and will not get the most out of your body during your games.

All coaches tell athletes that you need to be prepared and that preparation is what will help you to win games. It is no different when it comes to nutrition; it is so important for athletes to understand how to plan ahead and know what food they will need through the course of the day. Because you never know what will be provided and where you will be throughout the day it becomes imperative for an athlete to constantly pack the food they will need with them. All great athletes will always have a cooler with them for their shakes, and all the rest of the food that they may need through the course of the day so that come game time or workout time they will be ready to perform at their best.

Experts will all tell us that in order to get the most out of your body you want to eat 3-4 hours before the game or workout. I don’t know about you, but there is no way that I am going to get up and eat at 5AM when I have a game at 9AM and there is no way that a young kid is going to do that. Maybe the fact that I was not willing to make that commitment is the reason that I am no longer in the NFL but am now writing this blog! Olympic athletes that Dr. Susan Kleiner has worked with will actually get up 4-5 hours before their meet or event have their meal and then go back to sleep!!! But what about those of us that are not going to do that in a million years, what can we do to be effective and have energy for that early morning workout, game or event? In this interview Dr. Kleiner covers this exact topic in her weekly podcast with sportsgist.com
