Eating properly is just as important as training properly
Four Pillars of Nutrition

Carbs are one of the most important sources of energy, powering basic body functions and supporting physical energy and exertion
Meat/Protein
Protein is another very important source for athletes, providing strength and energy for the muscles in the body. It also ensures proper recovery after exercise
Fruit
Many people can overlook fruit, but it is one of the most essential sources for proper nutrients to support a healthy immune system and essential body functions
Water Intake
Proper water intake can reduce internal body temperature during and after a workout, and prevents dehydration
Overall Health and Wellness
Performance is based on the body's ability to complete a set of actions, dependant on the specific sport and movements associated with such. However, if the body cannot perform due to improper fueling and nutriton, there is a very low chance of reaching full athletic potential. Therefore, it is very, very important to eat properly to ensure that your body is getting the essential nutrients it needs to build muscle, perform properly, and work at such a high level.
