How can a girls soccer team best maximize their chances in winning CIF?

Soccer players should be on a high in carbohydrates and low in fats diet to maximize their chances in winning.

Carbohydrates are any of a large group of organic compounds that are broken down to provide energy and fuel required during repetitive of high- intensity exercises. My mentor coach Ana Mendez and Marissa Tipton would tell us to eat 2 hours before our game. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and fruits were the best sources of carbohydrates before a game.

U.S Youth Soccer and English Football Association showed that nearly 25% of all injuries occur in the last 15-20 minutes of a game due to the lack of good nutrition or carbohydrates. A healthy diet can help soccer players recover from injury quicker. The number one cause of injury is fatigue.

 The average soccer player runs about 8,500 meters during a match. the day before and of a game I would drink water to stay hydrated and carbohyrates since they are a fast source of energy needed for the game.
