READ CAPTION Underrated vs. Overrated: Game Day Prep Most athletes get game day prep completely backward. Here is how you actually show up ready to perform: Hydration X Overrated: Chugging a gallon of water right before kickoff (hello, stomach cramps). Underrated: Hydrating steadily throughout the entire day. Focus & Energy XOverrated: Blasting hype music all day long (you'll fry your central nervous system). Underrated: Saving the hype playlist for 30 minutes before gametime to peak at the right moment. Fuel Overrated: Eating a massive meal right before heading to the field. Underrated: Eating your main meal 2-3 hours before kickoff so your body isn't fighting digestion while competing. Routine X Overrated: Changing up your drills or routine on the day of the game disrupts how long it takes to get into your game ready state Underrated: Sticking strictly to the exact same routine you practiced all week helps you get into your prime mental state easier #athlete #athletetraining #gameday #athletelife #footballtraining
