Sam…….you just had to get me started.
Further to Sam’s note…….a good dinner the night before would be pasta, and a healthy serving of it is okay. Lean meat like turkey or chicken (not fried) with a big baked potato or rice is good if pasta is not an option. A snack like yogurt and or fruit or toast and milk before bed will help with energy in the morning too.

For breakfast, since it is early, I am stocking up on whole wheat bagels or at least the plain white ones made with some whole grain, yogurt, and strawberries. All easy to prepare and to eat fast and should not cause cramps since they are not especially high in fat or protein. I’d recommend this for all the players, and to eat about 6am to leave at least 2hrs before the game. (Fun I know – I’ll be doing the same……plus a protetin shake for me since I am just chillin on the sideline)
