SPORTS NUTRITION

We cannot stress enough the importance of good nutrition for all athletes. Please take time to read the dietary recommendations below.
If you choose to supplement your diet and workouts, Tekulve Acceleration Sports Training recommends  ADVOCARE and JUICE PLUS+ products. These are companies we trust, so much so, that we only recommend and sell their products. If you are interested in purchasing AGE APPROPRIATE products we have devised Advocare Athlete bundles according to age and athletic intensity. These can be found by choosing the corresponding button below.

Game Day

It’s important to eat well on game days, but you should eat at least 2 hours before the event — early enough to digest the food before game time.  The meal itself should not be very different from what you’ve eaten throughout training. It should have plenty of carbs and lean protein and be low in fat, because fat is harder to digest and can cause an upset stomach.  After the game or event, have a well-balanced meal. Your body will be rebuilding muscle tissue and restoring carbs and fluids for up to 24 hours after the competition, so it’s important that you get plenty of protein, fat, and carbs in the post game hours.  Also, don’t forget to drink plenty of water before, during and after games.  Most of all, it’s important to eat healthy meals and snacks consistently, even during the off-season, as this will provide a solid foundation during times of competition.

As well as adequate water intake pre and post activity, good healthy snacks should be encouraged—which provide the energy needed before and after sporting activities.  If it’s going to be a long practice or game, pack a healthy snack — a small tuna or natural peanut butter sandwich on whole grain bread, a handful of nuts and a small piece of fruit are all good options.  Always avoid candy and soda; while the sugar may give you a quick energy boost, it will fade quickly, and you won’t have enough energy to finish the game.
Instead of having a Powerbar or Gatorade, try some of these healthier snacks that will provide the nutrients you need to keep up your energy and have a great game:
  • Hard boiled eggs
  • Whole grain pita with hummus; raw veggies and hummus
  • Whole grain bread with natural peanut butter and banana
  • Whole grain crackers and cheese
  • Fruit and a handful of nuts
  • Plain yogurt with fruit and nuts
  • Fruit smoothies (blend 6-8 oz of rice or almond milk with a medium banana, ½ cup berries and 1-2 ice cubes for a nutrient-rich and energizing snack).
  • Tuna sandwich on whole grain bread
Foods high in potassium are also recommended, especially post-exercise, to replace electrolytes lost from perspiration.  Bananas, yogurt, melons, oranges, strawberries, pears, peaches, grapes, sunflower seeds and walnuts are good choices and easy snacks to pack.

Athletes and parents struggle with the proper performance supplements needed in addition to a balanced diet of carbs, protein and fats to optimize athletic performance. It is critical to have your athlete fed, hydrated, and rested and good nutritious food is the best choice to support that when available. While we all have different goals, which include wellness, performance, weight loss, muscle gain, etc. there are Advocare supplements that are designed to take your performance to the next level.
