When you play your sport you naturally go on a diet or just simply watch what you eat. When it’s time to get back in shape or when you’re getting ready for your upcoming season you naturally start eating better because you know certain foods will only slow you down or harm you more than it helps you.

But what about when you’re done playing? Some athletes end up eating healthy because that’s all they know how to do. Yes you have your “cheat days” but more times than not they’re watching what they put in their bodies at all times. Personally, I don’t drink soft drinks anymore. I’ve come to find them harmful for my body. I’m always drinking water, or some type of Powerade , Gatorade or anything with electrolytes in it. One of the easiest things to do while you’re not playing is to stay hydrated. We naturally watch our diets, we kind of have to. You can set up a diet plan and watch what you eat that way. A lot of the times as you get older we tend to get away from fried foods, and eventually leading to getting away from meat as a whole. But if you do that you have to find your means of protein else where for your body. Protein is in eggs, fish amongst other foods but those are the easiest to obtain the protein your body desires.
