Coaches Guide to Nutrition: Exercise Fueling
September 16, 2025
Fueling your body is just as important as training your skills when it comes to athletic performance.
Eating every 3–4 hours — including three balanced meals and three strategic snacks — helps keep your muscles energized, your focus sharp, and your mood steady throughout the day.
This consistent fueling not only supports performance on the field but also helps you succeed in the classroom.
Snacks play a key role, especially before and after workouts.
Knowing what to eat — and when — can boost performance, speed up recovery, and keep energy levels high.
In this edition (above), we’ll cover smart snack choices, pre- and post-exercise fueling tips, and strategies to stay prepared throughout the day.
Just like packing your gym bag, planning your food ahead of time is essential for success!
