During the season, I haven’t had to mess with my diet much, but I try to keep it strict while not being too complicated. Nutrition is extremely important to maintain top-end performance during a long and grueling season, but I love food, so I don’t get too crazy with it.

My breakfast usually consists of oatmeal, eggs, and sausage with some type of green juice. During and after workouts, it’s all about that whey isolate. I’ll try to sneak in a nap and have a snack afterwards which is usually rice, a protein, and a veggie. I’ll also have another green juice. Pre-game meal is almost always a gluten free pasta and meat sauce with a protein like salmon or maybe chicken. I usually prefer salmon because it’s high in protein and I just think it adds more flavor. Come game time, staying hydrated is top priority. I have a drink mix that’s packed with electrolytes and amino acids that fuels me really well. I get a lot of that leading up to and during the game.

When I cheat, I love to grab a nice cheeseburger or pizza. The start of the offseason is when I find myself doing that most often. Gotta reward yourself for all the hard work you put in during the season!
