Why Eat Right?

Did you know that eating right can absolutely affect both the outcome of your game and ultimately the pleasure and satisfaction you get from playing? Well, it's true!

Here is why sports nutrition works. Think of your body like a car. It runs best on a full tank of premium fuel (the better the fuel, the better the ride). Conversely, when the tank is only part full, or even empty, the car cannot run well. Your body is like that car, and NRG Ring is your ticket to premium fuel. That's why it is important to learn how to eat right for play, and more important, to eat right for life!

There are many foods from which to choose. This allows you to avoid foods you may be allergic to or just don't like. The foods listed on the cards are just suggested guidelines. Similar foods can fall into the "yes" and "no" categories. Also, avoiding certain foods does not mean you have to cut them out of your diet. It simply means you would be better off to have them, say, after you finish playing.

There are NRG Ring™ weatherproof cards for the following situations:

EARLY A.M. GAMES	AFTER GAME - RECOVERY
EARLY P.M. GAMES	HYDRATION IS THE KEY
LATE P.M. GAMES	SOCCER BAG SNACKS
ONE HOUR BEFORE GAME	TOURNAMENT TIME
HALF TIME – RECHARGE	CONVENIENCE STORE ITEMS

Hydration is the Key!

Properly hydrate to be prepared to play well the entire game. Follow the NRG Ring™ card to maximize your ability to "store up fluids" during the 24 hours before the game.

Also included are cards for special situations. "Tournament Time" - How should you best prepare for "back to back" games? Follow the "Tournament Time" card suggestions and don't forget your "pre-game meal." And, if you forget to bring all of your foods with you, NRG Ring™ suggests "Convenience Store Items" that will help you successfully stock up.
