Ways to Improve Your Sport Game

If your like me, you might be looking to better yourself in every way possible. I happen to like soccer, and i wish to better myself in that sport. You might like football, and want to get better in that sport. Everybody has something they want to improve on in sports. These tips might just help you do that.

1. Sleep. I know it sounds lame, but getting your daily 8 hours of sleep (maybe 9-10 if your a teenager) can really help you get an edge on the game. If your well rested, and playing against someone who just woke up from about 35 minutes of sleep, you probably will win. If your like me and have insomnia, you should ask your parents to go and get you some sleeping pills, they help you sleep really nice.
2. Food. If you have a game in the next few days, you probably shouldn’t be eating chips, or drinking pop. Eat a well-balanced meal. Maybe a banana and milk, or a peanut butter sandwich. I know its tempting to eat junk food but laying off it for a few days is great for the body. A few health foods, like a banana(great for potassium, which helps you not cramp up) or milk(great with protein which will make you strong). Are really the best thing for you.
3. Practice. Everyone tells you to practice, but it really helps you in the long run. Practice isn’t fun but you need to stick with it. Like they say, “practice makes perfect”, and that’s true. So try to be the first on on the field, and the last one off.
4. Friends. Invite your friends to see you play, it might motivate you to try harder. It might seem like a lot more pressure, so just imagine them in their underwear. They are your friends, their not there to watch you fail, they want to to succeed. So inviting them can help you a lot.
5. Stretching/Warm-ups. Before a game, you should have a warm-up routine with your team. Maybe take a slow jogging lap around the field and then coming to the field and stretch. Stretching helps you not get injured, and will help you grow taller. 

These tips, will help you preform better, be stronger, and be healthier!
