Soccer Knowledge

Soccer by Jenny Mackay

Something important to know about soccer is that it asks for your body to do a lot therefore it is very important to eat good. Even the top professional players can not just rely on their strong muscles, they will perform better if they are giving their body the essentials it needs to be able to play.

Hydration is key to making sure your body is ready to play. It is good to drink water not only when you are going to play but even a day before that to prep your body. It is not good enough to drink lots of water on the day of your game. Water helps bring oxygen to the muscles and helps them contract quickly. A snack in between games is a good idea because it will give you energy, something like an orange or an apple with peanut butter.

All the healthy foods you can think of will help in the long run when playing soccer, it will help you feel better when playing and help you play to your fullest potential. Without these things your body can only do so much but with the right food you will be able to keep improving your skills and growing, not only physically but on the field as well.
