Sox Sentiment of the Day

"I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us."

--Walt Whitman

Healthy Habits for the Young Athlete

"If you put your peas in your mashed potatoes, they don't taste so bad."

--Jonah, age 10

Eating a well balanced meal is essential to your athlete on a regular basis but it is very important on game day.

On game day try to provide a meal two hours prior to game time. Create a meal that contains plenty of carbohydrates, protein and one that is low in fat. Fat can be hard to digest and increase a risk of a tummy ache so choose leaner meats and stay away from the high fat, fried foods as much as possible on game day.

Remember that providing children with healthy food choices is one of the keys to helping them reach their full potential and in most cases these food choices will stay with them the rest of their lives.
