The next practice we will review “Fuel” Tripple Impact players pay attention to the fuel (food) they eat. Please find attached the Wolverine Mental Toughness Manual. Review the section on Nutrition
Part of the fuel should include hydration. A sports drink should be consumed on the bench before a game and at halftime.

Fuel: Power your Performance

Ignore your tongue—-choose high octane food. Little dogs eat for pleasure, while Big Dogs self-fuel for optimal performance.

Game day:

Think of it as how it burns:
Paper = fast burning carbs = fruits (apples, oranges, bannanas)
Twigs = slow burning carbs = croissants, donuts, breads muffins
Logs = Long-Burning “Good” Fats = peanut butter, cream cheese, nuts.
Stay away from protein (meats) before games= wet logs on a fire—-they don’t burn quickly
A Couple of hours before a game should have all three of the fuels mentioned above
Nuts and fruits should be consumed at half time and while on the bench with water to keep blood sugar in a normal range.
Hydrate with water, not sport drinks (Gatorade, Power Aide, G2, etc.)

Stay away from FAST FOODS: Toxic to your system and will not give you the right fuel.
