Eating Like A Champ

To play like a champ and athlete must learn to eat like one.  Eating healthy can be the breaking point for athletes all over the world.  Food although may be not important to some is the basic necessity to having a healthy working athletic body.  Like all athletes lacrosse players especially need to eat correctly.  Intese practices with extreme running and sports play, healthy food could be an important aspect of survival.  Sports specific nutrition is usually one of the most neglected aspects of an athlete's training program. What an athlete eats immediately before, during and after practice/competition can be critical to how the athlete performs not only that day, but in the weeks and months to come. Does this sound familiar? You go to practice on an empty stomach. You skip meals during the day. You do not take a water bottle with you to practice and if you do you rarely drink from it. You eat out often, usually at fast food restaurants. These are all important issues for an athlete to regularly address in order to stay on top of his/her nutrition game. Here is an example of a young athlete we recently encountered.
