Softball demands speed, strength, focus, and endurance—and the right nutrition helps young athletes perform their best. That doesn’t mean complicated diets or strict rules. It means giving their bodies fuel that supports energy and recovery.
A balanced plate with protein, carbs, and healthy fats is key. Think grilled chicken and rice, eggs and toast, fruit, yogurt, pasta, or simple wraps. Hydration is just as important—water before, during, and after games keeps muscles firing and prevents fatigue.
Snacks matter too. Instead of sugary treats, opt for oranges, string cheese, nuts, granola bars, or peanut-butter crackers. These choices help players stay energized throughout long practice days or tournament weekends.
At The 23 Legacy, we teach athletes not just how to train—but how to take care of themselves. A well-fueled athlete is a stronger, faster, more focused athlete.
