Important Nutritional Periods and Body Fuelling for Sport 3 Key Time Periods - • Pre-Exercise • During Exercise • Post Exercise • In groups identify what are the key tasks for a coach to ensure for each of the periods
Important Nutritional Periods and Body Fuelling for Sport 3 Key Time Periods - • Pre-Exercise • Ensuring that a player is properly hydrated • Ensuring that a player has adequate energy to play • 2-3 hrs before a game/training session • A light meal with a lot of Carbohydrates, some Protein and low Fat • For example: Cereal, Beans on Toast, Banana Sandwiches, Pasta, Chicken) • Water or a Sports Drink • Some players suffer from nerves and may not be able to eat. Ensure that they have sufficient fluids!

Burnout Evidence • Almost one third of elite young players play for at least 5 teams within one competitive season • Of these players a further 26% play for 7 or more teams in one competitive season • 36% reported receiving no communication or feedback from managers and experiencing conflict with managers, particularly regarding playing for other teams • 13% felt pressurized to play when injured and 11% reported being pressurized to play to during examinations Lynette Hughes, Burnout Report 2008
