Softball Nutrition, Supplements and Food

Supplements are something that probably all young athletes are aware of. There are so many out there it is hard to keep track of them. I would guess though that most young athletes don't understand the effects of those supplements in the long run.

Supplements are just that, an addition to your regular eating routine. Basically if you eat a good diet - meat, vegetables, milk and dairy (yes that includes ice cream!) and the breads. All the things you learn about in school. Look at that big pyramid and you will see everything you need to eat to stay healthy.

Some supplements can help, but only when monitored by a professional that knows about you and your health. Here is a great video from someone that does know about this stuff. He is being interviewed by a softball player. Check it out.

Eat well. A lot of young athletes don't eat enough, they want to stay thin. Especially female athletes, they don't want to look like a boy with muscles and all. Don't worry, you won't. For you girls - most boys like a fit, healthy young lady as opposed to a skinny minny.

You will feel much better if you eat the right amount of food. Hey remember you are burning a lot of calories during softball practice, at weights and just running from class to class.

Your performance on the softball field will benefit greatly from eating good whole foods. Your school work will benefit also, and you will just feel better about yourself. - OK, enough of the parent talk.

When you are ready to get out on the fastpitch softball field you may need a new fastpitch glove. Here are some great gloves http://www.buyfastpitchgloves.com/typeinfieldergloves.html

Now, belly up to the dinner table and tell your parents all about school and practice!
