Go to bed early so you can get a good rest for the next day. Try to get at least an extra hour of sleep. If you can, take a 10-20 minute nap before hand.
Drink at least 32 ounces of water a day. You may also consume sports drinks, but make sure they do not take the place of water. Remember, water is a necessity, while a sports drink is optional.
Start exercising as soon as possible.
Eat a healthy diet at least 2 weeks before. That means very little junk food. Eat a lot of carbohydrates because they give you energy. Avoid high fiber during this time. On game day, drink nothing but water.
Eat carbohydrates 2-4 hours before the game and drink water.
Run or practice the sport for at least 1-2 hours each day. This will help you do better when the game date arrives.
Run a warm-up and stretch the day of the game. If you choose not to do this, you could get injured.
Grab a bowl of fruit and a glass of water to get you refreshed before the game. Don't eat too much, just a snack.
Stretch to avoid injury. It does no good to your team if you make excuses not to stretch, and you wind up very sore.
