The Importance of Sports Nutrition
At Beasley Elite Sports Training we help our athletes understand the importance of nutrition. This part of our service to our athletes goes hand in hand to our high level training sessions.
Without proper nutrition, the human body can’t function properly. This is why it’s important to make smart choices about what you eat and drink on a daily basis – not only for athletic performance, but also your overall health in adulthood. The more knowledge that people have around food intake as an athlete, they’re better equipped to avoid obesity later in life due to their exercise schedule or other factors which may be influencing weight gain at present time.
During the Season
Caloric demands are extremely high when you’re involved in sports. Make sure to eat enough food so that your body has the fuel and energy it needs for practices, games, lifting weights, conditioning–all of which will make you compete at peak levels! One thing I love about being out on the field is how routine-driven my schedule can be: like taking snacks with me between classes because they know exactly what time practice starts or ends. It’s also not a good idea during this season to try losing weight by eating less—you could actually lose too much muscle mass if that happens!
Calorie consumption should always stay within healthy limits as well; while we need a lot more calories than an average person just sitting around doing nothing all
In the Offseason
The offseason is a great time to build muscle and get accustomed to eating more calories. It’s also an opportunity for players who do not want or need the extra pounds on them during regular season games, but will still need some additional weight in order to maintain strength throughout the season.
Make sure you have a plan set out so that when it comes game-time again after months of buildup your body knows how much fuel needs are going up while others decrease by at least 30%. You can eat healthy, nutritious meals with appropriate amounts of macronutrients (protein, carbs/fiber) as well as micronutrients like vitamins and minerals—all without feeling too weighed down from all those empty calories!
