Fueling your body properly before, during, and after a game can help your athletic performance and recovery. Before a game its important to eat a meal 4 hours before that has carbs, protein, and healthy fat and a snack an hour before with lots of carbs. Also, make sure to hydrate with water before a game. During a game that is less than an hour water is the main fuel you need to keep your body going. After a game its important to replenish your body with a meal that is packed with protein and carbs.
