What do you need as an athlete - Nutritional Requirements
As with any athletic performance, the health and nutrition of an athlete is all about decision making and making the right choice.

But just satisfying oneself with a good pre-game meal and making poor/bad choices for the rest of the week, will not have the desired effect on any athletic performance. Here I consider the nutritional requirements for an athlete, and provide details of what you should eat, how much, and what to avoid.
