PRE-SEASON TOP TIPS
Fuel your work: Not every day of a pre-season week will be the same. A well organised and planned period will have days specifically targeting different qualities such as strength/power other days may be more extensive and endurance building.
Hit the right balance of protein: The logic that ‘more is better’ doesn’t always ring true especially if we are trying to grow new muscle tissue in pre-season. Protein is a key component but once we get above 2g/kg body mass consistently every day, we may see little further benefit.
Make the most of Sleep The 8+ hours we sleep is a huge chance to recover and grow so provide it with the building blocks necessary. As part of your daily protein total target use the opportunity in the evening before bed to hit this.
Rest days are key: Pre-season tends to be hard work but athletes often have 2-3 days off to rest and recover each week. These days can be the point of difference! The best results I see every year are in those players organised and prepared to meet their nutrition needs and this often means eating enough.
Practice makes perfect: Use the pre-season period to practice match day strategies. Whether it is getting used to specific sports drinks or gels and more importantly getting enough of these in comfortably, or tailoring your caffeine intake, this is the time of year to do it.
