The Importance of Water

Water is probably the most important thing for an athlete. It's just as important to game power as food. During active activity you sweat, therefore increasing the possibility to become overheated and worn out. Experts recommend that athletes drink before and after exercise as well as every 15-20 minutes while exercising. Avoid drinking carbonated drinks or juice because they could give you a stomachache while you're competing.
