It’s important to understand that while yes, the choice you make for your pre-game meal can have a huge impact on your ability to perform just hours later, it’s just as important to look at the contribution the last few days’ worth of eating can have on the game you’ll play today. Pre-game meals are usually given such focused attention because it is usually the last thing you put into your body before taking the field. However, if we were to look at weight training in the same way, we’d mistakenly think that the rebound that you just grabbed was a direct result of the last set of squats you did in the workout the day before the game.
Do you think that’s true? Of course it’s not. The fact that you were able to out-leap three or four other guys to pull that ball down had more to do with the consistent efforts and hours you’ve been putting in in the weight room for the last eight months to gradually build up your lower body strength and power with hundreds of sets of squats…not to mention lunges, step-ups, and plyometrics. You see? So, in much the same way, while your pre-game meal is significant and important, how you’ve eaten and fueled your body on a consistent basis leading up to that day has just as much, if not more of an impact on how much energy you’ll have in today’s game.
Consistently good eating habits provide your muscles with several days’ worth of glycogen building nutrients. It’s much easier for your muscles to absorb and store this key energy source when it’s delivered with steady doses of usable glucose as opposed to flooded with it from some pre-workout or pre-game gimmicky “Super Carbo Charger Sugar Shock Extreme” drink. Eating right for days leading up to your game is much more effective than short-term attempts to “do the right thing” last minute.
That said, what I’m trying to accomplish by the time you’re done reading is to make you realize that this glycogen depot is not only best built overtime, but that building it isn’t as hard as you may think. Remember, it’s the small changes that will ultimately lead to big differences, especially when it comes to the energy you’re able to bring to competition each and every time you suit up.
Now while the pre-game meal won’t necessarily lead to large increases in this stored form of energy, the right one will:
- Stabilize the blood sugar levels you’ve maintained up to that point in the day (with your timed eating), preventing any roller coaster like peaks or dips in your energy levels during the game.
- Provide some immediate usable energy from the circulating blood sugar it creates.
- And help you to avoid in-game hunger that is strong enough to distract you from the task at hand.
Not all pre-game snacks are created equal…both in their makeup and in their level of portability. Think about it, since half of the time you are going to be on the road playing away games, you’re going to want to have something that you can rely on that can easily be taken with you on the bus. Foods requiring an oven, a recipe book, or a sous chef to help you prepare are obviously not good choices. Instead, you’re going to need to find old standbys that you can eat at home and away, that make you feel energetic without bogging you down.
Let’s take a look first at some of the guidelines that you’ll want to follow in creating the perfect pre-game snack and then we’ll look specifically at what I consider my top selections for game day that I affectionately call my “Five For Fueling”.
A good pregame snack should follow my “7 Sacred Principles of Pep”…They are:
1. Start with starch – Starch is easy to digest and helps to keep blood sugar levels steady.
2. Trim the fat – Fats and oils slow down digestion and can leave you feeling too full and bloated at game time. What makes this worse is that your digestion is usually already slowed down due to your emotionally keyed-up state.
3. Shut out the sweets – Sweets and simple sugars can cause too quick of a blood sugar elevation, leaving you only to crash from your high later on…unfortunately most likely in crunch time!
4. Cut the caffeine – Many athletes reach for caffeine as a pre-game boost, but this perceived energy jolt is often short term and can quickly leave you dehydrated.
5. Add water – Never consume a pre-game meal (or any meal for that matter) without having a glass of water with it as well. It helps to aid the digestion and leaves you less likely to get stomach cramps later.
6. Digest the rest – Try not to eat immediately before competition. It’s better to leave at least 60 to 90 minutes between your snack time and your attack time, if you know what I mean!
7. Win – That’s what you’re doing steps 1 to 6 for, right? Then go get that “W”!
With this in mind I now introduce to you, as promised, my “Five For Fueling” Top 5 Pre-Game meals. In order to make the cut, each of these winners had to meet the above criteria and also be what I like to call “bus friendly”. I figured, if it can stand up to the road test, then it’s going to be a-ok at home as well.
FIVE FOR FUELING – TOP 5 PRE-GAME MEALS!
1. Banana and a bag of pretzels with bottled water
2. Soup and crackers (in a Thermos) with bottled water
3. Turkey Sandwich on whole wheat bread with bottled water
4. Breadsticks (3) and a yogurt with bottled water
5. Low Protein (low sugar) energy bar with bottled water
The point is….regardless what you choose, not only are wise choices needed in the hours leading up to tip off, kick off, or faceoff…but perhaps more importantly, a pattern of consistently good choices is vital if you want to bring your best game…EVERY GAME! If you still feel as if you’re lacking a grasp for what you need to be eating (or if you’re a coach and feel that your athletes are missing the boat on this hugely important topic) then head over to http://sportsnutritionblueprint.com and get my step by step, simplified system for optimal sports nutrition called the TEEN SPORTS NUTRITION BLUEPRINT!
If you act before Friday October 1st, you’ll get this resource for 25% less than it’s already low price….at just $72! There’s never been a better time to get a handle on perhaps the most confusing topic and misunderstood topic in the performance of our athletes. Sports nutrition doesn’t have to be however. It can be easy…if you have the right tools to make it easy. Your TSNB will be your most trusted resource from this day forward!

These days, it seems that almost every coach has some sort of a grading or ranking system for their athletes. Whether you’re calling them “A” players vs. “B” players, “Starters” vs. “Reserves” or “5 Tool Players” vs. “Prospects” it doesn’t really matter. The point is that grading a player enables you to more easily determine that players impact on your team and it’s chances of winning.
When it comes to evaluating my athletes nutrition…there’s one grade in particular that I find MOST CHALLENGING to make progress with when it comes time to improving their nutrition and that is my “CEE” Player. What is that? That’s my “Crappy Eater Exception“!
The “Crappy Eater Exception” or “CEE” player is that athlete that can pretty much eat anything they want and STILL excel on the field. In fact, I’ve seen plenty of these kinds of athletes in high school over the years. A lot of them are even racking up the All-Conference and All-State Team accolades.
BUT……
The interesting thing about these kids is that there are fewer of them at the next level in collegiate sports, and then even fewer in the pros. Is it just a numbers game? With less athletes actually participating in competitive sports as the level of play increases? Nope! On a percentage basis…the numbers reflect what is undeniably true and that is…LONG TERM, you cannot excel as an athlete if you’re not paying attention to your nutrition.
You will simply be outclassed and surpassed by the athletes that are getting it right. Athletically, the gap between where this athlete stood in high school vs his or her peers may have been enormous and large enough to overcome the crappy eating that was actually pulling them closer to the pack. Makes you think…can you imagine how good they could have been had they had their nutrition locked in in high school as well?!?!
Anyway, when the talent and physical gap is closed considerably (as it is once they start to compete at the D1 or even D2 and 3 level), it’s those athletes that are doing EVERYTHING right that stand out above the rest and not only maintain the edge on the field or court, but also are the ones that make the team in the first place!
So while “CEE” players may actually look like “A”s in high school….long term, they are not laying the foundation to be a successful athlete (or even just a healthy adult for that matter) if they continue their poor nutritional habits. The challenge that coaches face is that often times, this is the athlete that is most resistant to change because they probably are excelling on the field DESPITE their bad eating. But that’s ok, but that’s what coaching is all about. Knowing each of your players and knowing the opportune time suggest a change of habits. For instance, even your greatest players have a bad game every now and then. It is usually at that moment that most athletes are at least open to suggestion. As long as you’re not in their face ready to read them the riot act, and instead are there to just provide some useful information that allows THEM to decide that it’s time to do something about their nutrition…you will have made your mark and had a positive impact.
Remember…awareness is the first step to change. When your athlete becomes aware that perhaps his or her “A” Skills are being undermined by their “C” or “CEE” eating habits, and if you’re there ready to provide the answer at that moment that it’s needed the most…you will elevate that athlete to a much stronger, healthier, better player going forward than they were when they came to you. And after all, isn’t that the hallmark of a great coach?
Stay Strong,
Jeff
PS. Wouldn’t it be perfect if you could have a series of ready made nutrition “cheat sheets” that you could hand out to your players to help them overcome the most common challenges they’ll face with their nutrition? We talked about being ready to act at the moment that “CEE” player needs you the most. These cheat sheets keep you armed and ready like nothing else. And…they come as just one part of the Teen Sports Nutrition Blueprint System! To see more of what you get with this turn-key sports nutrition system head to http://sportsnutritionblueprint.com

Man…it seems like just yesterday that I posted PART 1 to this article! Just goes to show you how quickly the Fall Season is approaching! We’re now down to just a couple of weeks. That said, are you going to be ready when your kids get to practice to ask them the right questions? Will you be ready to get to the root of their nutrition woes so you can reverse course and help them make their nutrition an ally instead of an opponent? You will if you ask these questions. So without another second delay…let’s take a look at questions 4-6!
4. Are you taking Nitrous Oxide Products?
If so…tell them to stop! These incredibly popular fad supplements are the rage right now. I don’t have actual statistics but I would bet that at least 50% of all males (and some females) who are working out and taking supplements in high school are using some form of a nitrous oxide product…and that’s BAD NEWS! These “vasodilaters” are unsafe and definitely not the right mix for an athlete who may already be a bit stressed (from the competition of trying to gain a spot on the varsity) and who might have a tendency to dehydrate (particularly if they are NOT watching the color of their pee and ARE taking creatine already!). Nitrous Oxide (NO) products are usually laced with high amounts of caffeine to give an intense stimulatory effect. The caffeine not only interferes with motor control (yes that means that your athletes can become jittery and prone to false steps/injuries/etc) but it can drastically change your body’s ability to absorb other important nutrients like iron. The dilation effect that this causes on the vessels in the body will not only shuttle more blood to your muscles (which is supposed to be one of it’s benefits…giving more energy) but also to your brain! This rush of blood flow to the brain has led to more than just a few documented migraines and is not the sort of chemistry you want your athletes to be fooling around with. Want to get them pumped? Have them watch HOOSIERS or “300″ a couple times before the big game, or pull out your best Knute Rockne speechto motivate them and you will have accomplished the same thing….in a far less dangerous way!
5. Did you eat a snack before practice?
One of the most overlooked times of the day to be fueling up is right before practice. If you think about it, the last time the majority of your athletes will have eaten is at lunch time (usually 3 hours before). Attempting to go an entire practice with no more incoming calories is like trying to drive your car cross country when you’ve only got enough gas to make it across the state lines! In order to produce a sustained effort and energy levels your body needs to be “fueled” every 3 hours AT THE LATEST! Failing to do this is not only going to take it’s toll on the performance output for that particular day or practice…but in the long haul, the ability of the body to recover and grow stronger will be compromised as well. A prepractice snack of a protein bar, a piece of fruit with skim milk, a half of a peanut butter sandwich, or even some trail mix is enough to help them to sustain some blood sugar stability heading into the next two hours of intense practice. Knowing that your athlete has “fueled” their tank can now give you confidence in knowing that they can give you all they’ve got without attempting to “run on empty!”
6. How many hours are you sleeping at night?
WHAT?!? That’s not a nutrition question! Actually, indirectly it very much is! In fact, it may be the most important of all of them. Why? Because even the greatest nutrition game plan can come absolutely unglued when the body isn’t allowed to recover properly. When you are sleep deprived your body fights all day just to provide you with enough energy and focus to “zombie” your way through the day. None of the nutrients are used to build you up stronger. That would be a waste of good useable energy in a time when perceived survival is the more immediate concern. Dating all the way back to the cavemen…being alert and having enough energy to run in case you found yourself face to face with a T-REX (the prehistoric version of that 300lb left tackle!) was the prime focus of your body. Any incoming energy was directed at allowing you to survive in situations like this. Where do you think muscle growth and performance enhancement fell on that priority list?? Umm…nowhere close to survival! Same thing applies here. If you’re burning the candle at both ends and barely squeaking by on your recovery and sleep…I don’t care how good you’re eating, or how hard you’re training…none of that will be reflected in your results since your body will just be trying to keep you from sinking even further into the overtraining abyss. The phrase “playing for the tie” applies perfectly here. No continued decline, but certainly NO improvement at all (in your skills, focus, muscularity, or athleticism) if you’re not completing the “nutrition” picture with proper rest and recovery. 7.5 hours of CONSISTENT solid sleep a night will get the job done. Find out how much your athletes are getting…before their lack of zzzz’s puts them on energy empty!
So there you have it. The 6 simple but information loaded questions that you need to be asking your athletes when they hit camp just days from now. No hard sell is needed. No need to go out and try to get a 2 week PHD on nutrition. Just 6 informative questions that will help you get a huge head start on not only knowing your team and what you’re bringing to the field or court this Fall…but also a giant edge on your competition who aren’t asking these questions!
If you’re looking to accelerate your knowledge of nutrition however and want to really gain the upper hand on your competition (but still don’t have the time it will take to learn ALL the ins and outs and the detailed scientific chemical reactions of nutrition and how it relates to performance) then head to http://sportsnutritionblueprint.com and get your copy of the TEEN SPORTS NUTRITION BLUEPRINT! It’s the practical solution you can implement in days with your team that is guaranteed to equate to at least another W or more this season without changing anything else! How important could that be? Be back next week with some more new tips and tactics to get the most out of your athletes by targeting the “INSIDE” track of their nutrition! See you then!

Low carb, no carb, low fat, no fat, grapefruit only, anything but grapefruit….who can keep track?!? There are so many diet fads out there and the list grows by a few hundred every day. It seems not a minute goes by without someone coming up with yet another way to lose weight…albeit temporary…by recommending you either restrict certain parts of your diet or eat particular thing in excess.
What ever happened to “everything in moderation?”
Well, if the fact that tens of millions of Americans are unsuccessfully riding this wave of diet misinformation isn’t bad enough, the recently disturbing rise in teens following in their parents footsteps is even worse. Now, not to dismiss my parents and coaches out there reading this but I’m sure you can understand that my heightened concern for this in the kids is justified.
You guys will be alright. With the exception of that “one guy” that we all know that still thinks it’s cool to party with their teens friends as if it were his first visit to a frat house…most of us are already fully developed biologically and capable of making decisions that we are responsible for. If you want to follow the Atkins diet (even though you’re destined to fail since you’re depriving your brain of the number one source of fuel it needs in it’s natural form!) then go right ahead. You’re big boys and girls.
Just remember…when you can’t take another day of eating bacon and eggs and hamburgers without the buns…and you start to have visions of white bread dancing in your head at night, you will have heard it from me first!
But that’s not the point. What is is the fact that teens following this same bad advice is incredibly disturbing…for many reasons. The worst is the fact that during the teenage years, the body is undergoing it’s most significant developmental and hormonal changes, and at the quickest rate (including infancy!). Screwing with this delicate internal lab experiment in ANY way is probably going to result in the same kind of chaos as when you and your buddy thought it was a good idea to see who could get the bigger flame on their Bunsen Burner (or was that just me?!?).
Anway, back to the matter at hand. If there was ever a time to GET IT RIGHT with your nutrition it’s NOW…in your teenage years!
The stage for many of your body’s long term developments are set during these crucial 6-7 years. Making continued mistakes as a teenager can doom you to a life of repercussions that can make adulthood much different than it was intended to be. For instance, there’s no more crucial time to build bone density than during your teens with adequate nutritional supplies of calcium and Vitamin D.
Even though you may not ever experience one hint of backlash for falling short in getting these nutrients as say a fifteen year old, your 45 year old version of yourself is going to be cursing you out as being “young and stupid” every day they get out of bed and their knees, ankles and back resemble the joints of a person twice their age.
Same with iron. Ignoring the right foods to get your minimal supply of daily iron can lead to anemia, lack of energy, decreased strength, and about a million other things that would top the “What NOT to do if you’re an Athlete” list.
And it goes the other way as well…with teens erring to the side of excess as well. I can’t tell you what a growing problem doing TOO MUCH rather than too little has become in the teens I am put in contact with for training. Workouts are being done sometimes 7 days a week, and if you’d believe….sometimes even twice a day during the Summer when they have the time?!?
Crazy and utterly nonproductive to getting results. But we live in the era of “more is better” and “faster is best”. Everything is instant. Instant oatmeal. Instant Messages. Instant pudding! I mean, would you be caught dead on a dial-up modem now?!?
Didn’t think so. But in some cases, the wait is worth it and when it comes to teen development (that’s responsible for setting up a lifetime of living healthy) it’s critical.
It’s funny….I even get asked now at least 10 times a day how to get 8 pack abs! Since when did a 6 pack become a bad thing? Since Taylor Lautner showed off his extra 2 on the freaking teen vampire movies and now all hell broke loose! The worst part is that some of the dietary restrictions that kids are now attempting to try and strip the fat fast enough to look good at their buddies pool party and show off his “8 pack in waiting” are leaving long term developmental scars that will be impossible to recover from.
I guess I’m just saying that as we move further and further into the era of instant gratification the need to slooooowww down the tendency of teens to follow this practice in their nutritional habits has never been greater. Stop looking for shortcuts in crazy diets and dangerous supplements, and instead learn what long term solutions you can start implementing NOW that will give you not only a boost in your performance in this weekend’s upcoming game, but more importantly….set the stage for you to enjoy the opportunity to try and relive those moments well into adulthood as you stay active, energetic and strong for years to come!
Stay Strong,
Jeff

In just a matter of days, school will be out for summer!
I always remember as a kid, looking forward to those later days in June…from basically the first day of September! I just loved summer vacation. As an athlete though, it represented more than just the next couple of months off, it represented a tremendous opportunity.
The Summer Vacation is the best time of the year to work on improving your body in the weight room so you can come back bigger and stronger the following year. It’s the best time to work on your skills, at perhaps one of the various camps devoted to your specialty, so you can become the best technical athlete at your sport. And finally, it’s the best time of the year to develop proper eating habits that you can carry with you into the school year and beyond to support your growth (literally) into that athlete you dream about becoming.
The only problem is…most of the time this last one happens backward or even worse….doesn’t happen at all.
With the end of school also comes the end of an organized schedule for most teens. No longer is there a need for early morning wakeups, timed eating, pre practice fuel ups, etc. Instead, most teens revert to a much different summer lifestyle. Late starts to their day from sleeping in until 11am. Skipping breakfast. Eating erratically throughout the day, as meal timing is dictated more by when you and your friends actually remember to eat instead of planning to eat.
And all of this is normal….if you want to be the average teen.
If instead you want to be more, then you’re going to have to do just a bit of homework this Summer. But trust me, it won’t be that hard. As a matter of fact, it could be the easiest assignment you’ll ever have since this one is going to involve encouraging you the hungry teenager (or the one that you coach or raise) to eat!
Geez…sounds impossible huh? Kidding of course.
Well, think back to the typical school day. Again, by virtue of having to get up early to be on time for school, the issue of getting an early breakfast was not much of a challenge. You then packed a lunch for the day, hopefully a couple of snacks as well and off to school you went.
You knew when it was time for lunch because the clocks and the school bells said so. You knew when it was time for your after school snack because you only had so much time before coach blew the whistle to start practice. You knew when practice was over it was time to head home and you looked forward to a nice sit down dinner since you were starving from all the activity leading up to it. Basically, the whole day had structure.
Well, for many with the last day of school so too comes the last day of this organized schedule, and I’m saying that without it you are greatly compromising your ability to capitalize on this SUMMER OPPORTUNITY to become the best athlete you can be. If you want to take advantage of the window of opportunity then try to stick as closely as you can to the structure the school day had provided you.
Try not to sleep in. Just think, not only will this be healthier for you in the long run but you’ll actually have a longer summer vacation to enjoy! Instead of sleeping it all away you’ll have many more hours to enjoy the things that you’re not able to during the school year.
Try to pack smart snacks for your day trips. Don’t ‘wing it’ with your eating. You simply cannot rely on the fact that you’ll have access to good foods when you’re out and about with friends on camping trips, at the beach, or engaging in marathon XBOX sessions. You need to be prepared, and it can be as simple as having those ultra portable snacks handy like the trail mix, granola bars, peanut butter sandwiches, bananas, apples, etc that helped so much during the school year.
Set a time during the day for your workout. The more you randomly choose a time to workout the greater the likelihood that you’ll find reason to push it off during the summer. With no set plan in place the tendency for other more attractive options to come up and make the idea of working out sound as appealing as a sunburn, is high. During the school year your weight room time is dictated by your coaches and it’s almost easy to get your work in. Well, pretend your coach is assigning you a specific time for a specific number of days each week and just get it done. Schedule your days of play around your hour or so you will be working out. In the long run, you’ll find you miss a lot fewer workouts.
So you see, the school day (while usually not a teen’s favorite) provides much more structure than the free Summer day. While there are definitely some positives to be had from these June, July and August days (particularly when it comes to recharging the batteries after months of school), there are also negatives that can be disastrous when given a chance. Namely in its negative impact on your preparation for next season.
Remember, the greatest athletes are not made on the field. They are made off of it, behind the closed doors of the weight room, far away from the lights and the action and the brief moments that are the games. Instead, they thrive by doing the little day to day things right that together contribute to the success that others see in those shining moments of competition. If you wait until the moment of truth before you try and work on improvement, you’ll find yourself 5 steps behind already.
Don’t let that happen. Take advantage of these next few months, these moments of SUMMER OPPORTUNITY, to work on not only improving physically and technically but most importantly, on supporting this growth by maintaining that daily structure and schedule that makes it all possible in the first place.
And of course, if you need help with your athletes nutrition over the vacation months, check out the Teen Sports Nutrition Blueprint
To your health and success,

Why you should be getting “cold” feet in the hot lunch line
Looking back now…it’s clear that I was spoiled.
I grew up in a household with the good fortune of getting to live with my grandparents (as well as my dad of course).
My grandfather was the typical old-school Italian perfectionist who just couldn’t stomach the thought of me leaving for school every day without some homemade sandwich and brown-bagged healthy, fresh lunch.
Gramps…I know you’re looking down right now and to you I want to say a heartfelt “Thanks” and “Holy crap you saved my life!”
Because after glancing at some of the hot lunch menus just recently, that anyone can pull up on a quick search of google, unfortunately turned up just that…a lot of crappy food choices that frankly are worse than when I was in high school some 15 years ago!
With all we know now about the link between nutrition and mental and physical performance (both on the field and in the classroom) you’d think that this would have improved in recent years. Ummm….not the case.
Don’t believe me?
Take a look at these two actual menus that I pulled up. The names of the schools will be withheld for their protection. Though the food cops might want to add them to their “MOST WANTED” asap
Sadly, the best day in those entire three weeks was Friday April 2nd…when there was NO SCHOOL!
The first week alone offered up the following four entrees:
1. Popcorn Chicken on a Roll
2. Quesadillas
3. Corn Dogs
4. Pasta of the Day with a Breadstick (or the Bratwurst sandwich if you would rather have some “healthy” protein!)
Actually, of these…the pasta would seem like a non-offender. However, take a look at the sauces that are being offered on the pasta and you might be able to start holding swim team practices in the amount of grease that’s in them!
Popcorn chicken? They’d be better off serving just the popcorn (hold the fried chicken please).
Corn dogs? It might just be wishful thinking, but I could have sworn that these babies had gone the same route of SPAM (meaning…almost extinct!). Man was I wrong. Not only are they not gone, but they are being served on multiple menus and in major metropolitan areas like New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.
But it doesn’t end there. Philly Cheesesteaks, Calzones, Macaroni and Cheese, and more variations of pizza than there are names that end in vowels in Italy. In fact, you’d have to wait for the 15th until you could get anything close to a top protein recommendation in the grilled chicken sandwich. While coaches and parents may be dreading tax day…at least their young athletes looking to fuel their bodies with “productive” calories had something to finally smile about!
Look, I’m not trying to bash any one school system….because again, there isn’t just one offender. With the internet these days and all the information that is accessible through it, we can literally see the menus of thousands of high school cafeterias across the country and they all look eerily the same.
My question for you is…is this the BEST we can do?
Do you feel like me that we’re doing a disservice to our young athletes by serving the types of menus that would be more likely found at an 8 year old’s birthday party than on the daily menus of a population in their most significant growth years? Remember the saying, you are what you eat. Can we possibly be creating the best athletes by providing them with the worst meal choices?
I think you know how I feel.
So parents, break out those brown bags. Pack them full of last night’s leftovers on a sandwich (trust me it’s good….think pork tenderloins, chicken breasts, baked chicken cutlets, etc) with a piece of fruit, a low sugar yogurt (throw a portable chillpak in to keep things cool) and you’re good to go. Again, it doesn’t take much time to prepare, but the extra 5 minutes can go a long way towards keeping your athlete feeling strong for much longer than that…day in and day out!
Stay Strong,
Jeff
