Food and Beverage consumption during tournament play

Thanks!

Thanks for the info!

I can't claim that I always took care of my body before and during competition. When I was a young bull it wasn't as important. I have to give up the spot of age now, nothing stops me from doing all I can to minimize that. I doubt I would have ever gotten real serious about prepping and peaking for a pool event if I hadn't learned how to do it for other things.

Once you see the benefits it comes natural to prepare for all events. I had to take a dozen tough certification tests too. They were $125 each and the deal was the company paid for taking one the first time; if I failed it, I paid for all subsequent tests. I knew pretty smart people that failed some of those tests more than once so I studied hard and I did watch what I ate the day before and the morning of the test. A slight physical edge and a slight mental edge knowing I had done the prep.

There were a lot of years when I could surely relate to this song so I do understand what you are talking about!

Depends on the energy drink. I have gotten pretty jittery off of Rockstar and Red Line. But red bull and monster just seem like a bunch of sugar and don't really affect me a whole lot. 5 hour energy made me crash pretty bad and I didn't even feel like the 'high' was that great.

I usually wake up the day of a tournament (forgetting when it is) with a hangover. So I am usually fighting that all day with more beers, lol. I will be the first to admit that I do not take care of my body before a pool match. It doesn't feel like it affects me until late in the day. So depending on the length of the tourney, I can see how someone would prep themselves, much like marathon runners.

I have been known to gobble down half a jar of peanut butter though. That usually holds me over for a day of pool.
