Supplements

If you are a normal football player you want to get bigger, faster and stronger. The one thing that you have 100% control over that will help you achieve all of these goals is your nutrition. Here's some steps on what to do.

1. Eat healthy. - It's amazing what cutting out fast food will do. Chips, sugary foods, and soda are things that you don't want in you if you are really serious about improving. Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. There are a ton of great carbohydrates in those. You should also eat a lot of protein. Eggs, peanut butter, fish, meat, and beans are just a few great protein sources.

2. Eat often. - The body is a machine. It takes what it needs out of the food you give it and it gets rid of what it can't use. Eating huge meals 3 times a day will overstock your stores of nutrients and isn't very efficient. Eating what your body needs every 2-3 hours is a better way to make sure your body processes what you eat. Again, eating a protein source every 2-3 hours is very important.

3. Supplement your nutrient stores. - The word supplement means to include more of what you need to a supply you already have. Think of your body like a bank. Most people walk around without sufficient nutrients in their bank. (Think of the last time you had a protein source for breakfast.) I only suggest two supplements for beginning high school athletes. Both of them are needed and both are safe. A protein supplement and creatine. I won't spend a lot of time right now going over the benefits and arguing about why they are are important but they are almost a mandatory thing in today's world.

I'm very careful about recommending anything without adding this instruction. If you are going to start using supplements come and talk to me so I can help you. Don't guess and don't experiment.

If you'll do what I'm asking I can guarantee that you'll see and feel the results.
