No Energy

[JRutledge]

Fruits, real juices, energy bars might all help. I would also talk to a doctor to find out what other issues you might have to deal with that could be a result of your lack of energy. You could have issues of sleep, general health and diet which a doctor would know much more than any of us here that are sapping your energy level.

One of those energy drinks .... Red Bull e.g. sometimes knocks my cobwebs off.

Rock star, diet coke (becasue of the no sugar) and daily vitamin suppliments keep me wired. I take rhodiola on occasion before a game and it keeps me alert as a taxi cab passenger in Uganda.

And that's a good thing?!? When I was in a matatu in Kisumu (Kenya), I didn't want to be alert! I just hoped the death would be quick and painless.

Oh, how my game last Saturday could have been quick and painless...

When I die, I want to go peacefully, in my sleep, like my grandfather did.

Not wide awake screaming like the passengers in his car.

I'm a proponent of a Red Bull just before game time. Add a pack of peanut butter crackers if ya haven't had dinner yet. This ritual seems to help me concentrate better, especially if it's a sloppy game. (don't want to sound sexist here, but private school 1A girls games come to mind)

Check out the energy drinks, and try to find one you like. They usually contain various health supplements, and there are some that are sugar free, which is probably a better alternative than mountain dew.

The drawback is that they are more expensive....

That's funny! Years ago in Korea my buddies and I referred to cabs as "red death", "yellow death" etc, depending on the color cab you got. No need for energy boosts in them...the ride always kicked your adrenaline into high gear

He said he wanted some energy, not to get his colon cleaned!
