Plan ahead to have your favorite, quick, pregame foods on hand during the season. If possible, eat at least three hours before you compete. If you only have time for a quick trip to the store, consider these possibilities: Oranges, bananas, pears, peaches, plums Juices Mozzarella string cheese Yogurt (low-fat) Single-portion cans of fruit Breadsticks/snacksticks Bread with jelly Cottage cheese (low-fat) Milk (low-fat or skim) Ask your coach, food service director, or home economics teacher for refrigerator space if you need a pregame meal/snack right after school, between classes, or during a free period. A refrigerator and/or microwave would be a good booster club project. Ask for nutritious foods in school vending machines: yogurt, fruit juices, and so on. Bring a thermos of soup or a casserole from home. Remember: Eat foods you like and that agree with you for pregame meals. You are an individual with your own tolerances for foods. Choosing foods you like may give you a psychological edge.
