What is ideal diet for a player during matches & practice?
Alois Rosario Answered 15 years ago
Hi Kaustubh,
Before a big tournament, carbohydrates are good for energy.
During a tournament I find things like, fruit buns are great. They have a good mix of carbohydrates and fruit.
Also remember to keep hydrated. Water is best for this. you may decide to use some sports drinks, but keep this to a minimum. Water should be the most important thing.
Remember to eat well all the time through not just before a match or training. Make it a part of your life rather than a diet.
