" Think getting back into shape for your fall sport is all about physical fitness? Think again!  The food you eat\u2014especially during preseason\u2014plays a huge role in how you perform on the field.  As the final installment of a three-part series on how to get ready for your season, Stephanie Wilson, Head of Nutrition at IMG Academy, is sharing with you her best tips on what foods to fuel your body with. (Read parts one and two on how to get mentally and physically prepared too!) Have a post-workout snack. When you&amp;#039;re working so hard on the field, your body needs to repair and recover for your next practice. Try low-fat Greek yogurt or drinking a low-fat chocolate milk when practice is over. Eat cherries! It sounds simple, but adding tart cherries to your routine, will really help with muscle soreness. Stay hydrated! Right when you wake up in the morning, drink a bottle of water to help rehydrate your body from the night of sleeping. Get snacking. Since you&amp;#039;re exerting so much energy working out, it&amp;#039;s super important to keep your metabolism up\u2014pack snacks and eat every 3-4 hours during the day. Plus, you have a light snack, like a piece of fruit, 30 minutes to an hour before practice or a game.
