A coach explains why skipping pre-game meals kills your performance. He compares it to working all week and throwing away your paycheck. Eat fruit or simple carbs before you play.
This is week 76 of trying to get athletes to eat before their games. If you are not eating before your games, you are leaving complete results on the table. It's like working a 40-hour work week and then ripping up your check at the end of the week and not cashing in on payday. When you're looking at pregame snacks and pregame fuel, you want quick, easy carbohydrates. Fruit is one of my favorite options that is super easy to grab, super easy on the stomach, and it's going to give you the quick, easy, natural carbs that you need to keep your energy high throughout the game.
