HYDRATION, NUTRITION, AND PLAYER SAFETY

Did you know that, according to a recent American College of Sports Medicine study, 7 out of 10 high

school softball players BEGIN practice already seriously dehydrated?Dehydration and low energy levels due to improper eating habits can result in:

Fatigue

Loss of concentration (cant remember plays) Headaches, dizziness

Muscle and abdominal cramping

Collapse, heat stroke in extreme situations

In order to maximize performance and avoid illness and injury, we are asking your assistance in

making sure your player is eating and drinking properly during both summer conditioning andpractice. Here are some suggestions that will help.

THINGS TO AVOID:

Caffeine (cola, coffee or tea, certain other soft drinksread the label first)

Excess vitamins (a balanced diet should contain all necessary vitamins) Supplements, including herbs, fat-burners, protein powders, creatine, etc.; these can lead to

dehydration and they dont enhance performance enough to be worth the risk

Low-carbohydrate diets, such as Atkins or South Beach

THINGS TO DO AND REMEMBER:

The beginning of softball practice (August) is NOT the time to try to lose weight.

Younger players that are still growing will benefit from weight training and get stronger, butthey shouldnt expect to get the rippedmuscle look until their bodies stop getting taller and

mature.

FOOD and EATING: Athletes in training should eat SOMETHING about every 3 hours while awakethis doesnt

need to be a full meal each time; supplement meals with healthy snacks such as fruit and dairyproducts. This will help keep energy levels up.

CARBOHYDRATES are the primary source of energy (fuel) for the brain and muscles.Carbohydrates should make up about 60% of an athletes daily food intake. Good sources are

breads, pasta, rice, fruits; avoid candy and simple sugars.

FATS provide energy for long-term athletic events such as distance running, and are essentialfor the transport of vitamins throughout the body. Fats should make up about 25% of the daily

food intake. Good sources are nuts, meats, vegetable and olive oil, and fish. Avoid saturated

fats such as those on red meat, shortening, or butter.

PROTEINS are useful for building and repairing body tissues such as muscle, but an athletedoesnt need nearly as much protein as you might think. Too much protein can lead to kidneyproblems and dehydration. Protein should make up about 15% of an athletes daily food

intake. Good sources include lean meats, fish, dried beans, peanut butter, and dairy products.

VEGETABLES are a valuable source of fiber, as well as essential vitamins and minerals. Besure to include plenty in your daily food intake.

If you are trying to lose weight, dont cut back on carbohydrates. Cut fats slightly and eatoften, just reduce your portion size.

BREAKFAST IS CRITICAL to get your metabolism going. It doesnt always have to bebreakfast food, just EAT!


14/14

HYDRATION and DRINKING

Most high school athletes dont get enough water during each day; being thirsty is NOT a goodindicator of need for water.

Athletes should drink water on arising, all during the day, and before going to bed.

Weight loss during activity should be monitored; weigh before and after practice (or duringsummer outdoor jobs). A loss of as little as 3% body weight is hazardous! (6 pounds for a 200-

pound athlete). Weight loss should be replaced with 3 cups (24 ounces) of water for each pound lost, so

drinking during activity is a must.

Sports drinks or water? Water is still the best overall fluid to prevent dehydration. Sportsdrinks have the advantage of tasting better, increasing fluid retention, and providing extracarbohydrates for muscle energy. They are useful during long or intense workouts as a

supplement to water, or after practice to help re-energize.

URINE COLOR and frequency is a good indicator of hydration levelsthe less color in urine,the better. Yellow or dark urine means you are NOT adequately hydrated.

Hydration is an all-day process; keep adding fluid to the body all day, not just before practice.

Please take the time to review these guidelines with your athlete, and help us make sure your athletesperformance and safety are at their best!

NOTE: some medications can help cause dehydration; please advise us if your athlete is taking

regular medications.
