We ask that you prepare a “recovery snack” for you athletes to eat within 30 minutes after practice, heavy in protein and carbohydrates, such as banana and yogurt, or half bagel with peanut butter or a glass of chocolate milk and break roll. Follow that with a dinner meal within 2 hours, again, heavy in carbs and protein.
And don’t forget the water. Several bottles per day. NO SODA, NO SPORTS OR ENERGY DRINKS.
