An official friend of mine and I were doing a HS Varsity Volleyball game a few weeks ago. Between games he told me that he was starting to feel a little "shaky" because he hadn't eaten since noon. I reached into my bag and pulled out a Detour protein bar and told him to eat it before the time between games was over. It helped. It got me to thinking about my own ritual. I always eat a Clif bar 30 minutes before each basketball or soccer game. They have 46 grams of carbs and the Peanut Butter ones taste good. They really keep me going throughout the game(s) for the night. I always keep an extra Clif bar and Detour bar in my bag. I also keep a can of Slim Fast in a little cooler in my truck to drink while driving home from game. Any of you have anything special you eat before or at halves of games that works well for you?
