The Night Before Matters

A balanced dinner and a full night of sleep help players show up focused and ready to play.  Avoid super heavy or greasy meals.

What happens the night before a game sets the tone for how players perform. Start with a balanced dinner—think grilled chicken or fish with rice and veggies, pasta with a light tomato sauce, or a hearty veggie stir-fry with tortillas. Avoid super heavy or greasy meals that can make sleep uncomfortable.

Then, focus on rest. Less screen time, more calm—stretch, read, or just talk about tomorrow. Sleep is often called the invisible training because it helps the body recover, rebuild, and get stronger.

9–11 hours of sleep isn’t just ideal—it’s part of being game-day ready.

¡A descansar!
