Fitness coaches and health experts recommend performing some basic warm-up exercises before starting your game.

Sleep and hydrate
You should also get a good night’s sleep and hydrate your body in advance. Proper hydration gives you a reservoir of fluid for use during your performance.

On the other hand, regular exercise is good for quality sleep.

Start early
Reaching early at the field is essential, at least 15 minutes before game time. This gives you enough time for warming up before the game.

Dynamic stretching
It’s a good idea to warm your muscles with gentle jogging before moving on to some dynamic stretching exercises.

Dynamic stretches involve movement-based stretches and help loosen up all the crucial joints and muscles of your body by mimicking the movements of the game you’re going to start.

Prime and focus
Warming up raises your body temperature, gradually increases your heartbeat and breathing rate, prepares your body for the physical task ahead, and primes your concentration for optimal performance.

In addition, a few touches of the ball before the game will help improve your physical performance and mental focus while preventing the chance of injury during the game.

Follow these 5 nutrition hacks to fuel your performance on and off the pitch.

Professional athletes adhere to a healthy way of life at all times. To stay at the top of their game both physically and mentally, pros take their diet as well as mental well-being very seriously.
