Fuelling your Focus on & off the Field
What you eat doesn't just power your performance, it fuels your focus,
mood and recovery too. Whether you're hitting the books or the pitch, your
brain and body need the right fuel to perform at their best. Eating a varied
diet helps ensure intake of macronutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins
and fats and micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals. Smart snacks
like yogurt, fruit, nuts or wholegrain toast can keep your concentration
sharp between sessions. Remember, good nutrition isn't just about match
day, it's a daily habit that supports both your learning and your game.
TIPS:
• Don't skip meals, even if under pressure
• Each balanced meal should contain:
- Whole grains to provide energy for movement.
- Lean protein to help with muscle growth and repair
- Fruit, vegetables and healthy fats to help minimise wear and tear.
- Fluids to stay hydrated
