I have a tournament in Iowa I'll be attending on saturday. Leaving Friday morning. We all have peaks and valleys with how well we're playing. Recently I've been told that peaking on tournament day is something you can actually work on improving. Who would have thought, I didn't know you could decide which days would be your good days and which would be your bad.
So on wednesday night, I did heavy training with my coach and today (thursday) my muscles were pretty exhausted. I still played for a few hours but I noticed I was playing much worse. I'm blaming the muscle fatigue but I'm sure there's other reasons. I'm now realizing I should have rested today instead of play.
I will be resting almost all friday which is the day before the tournament until maybe 7pm-8:30pm to hit a bit with my practice partner.
Other than getting good rest and eating healthy, what strategies are good for getting yourself ready for a tournament?
Also what types of foods will help muscles regenerate quicker? Just protein?
