The Key is Nutrition

Taking a look ahead at this weekends soccer commitments (league game and Ontario Indoor Cup) leaves me thinking of two things energy and nutrition that will sustain the team for the entire weekend.





















How well we maintain and control our eating habits over this weekend will be a our biggest challenge. Picking the right food and eating at the most appropriate time could make the difference towards the end of Saturday or Sunday when the girls' bodies are searching for more carbohydrates.

My suggestion is if the girls require fun food on weekends like Pizza, burgers, fries etc... let them have it Thursday night. Come Friday we should start having the girls store up on energy reserves and preparing for Saturday.

Here is a few links that can provide you with information on preparing for this weekend nutritional task.
