Athletes Diet: Balance of Protein / Carbohydrates / Fats
An athlete’s diet, regardless of the number of calories you are consuming should be:
55% Carbohydrates, 30% Fats, 15% Protein
Excess protein is detrimental to performance and recovery.
Your body can handle only small amounts of protein at any one time,
a normal person’s protein intake should be very close to 0.80g/kg
bodyweight. Or approximately, 1.0g/kg for athletes in training.
It is critical that you never consume more than 30 grams of protein
in any one sitting!!!
Sample 7 Day Diet Plan Guide
One of the key things you can do in your diet is get into a
routine. The following is a good balanced plan with good caloric
intake. You can take a multi-vitamin everyday and alternate food
on a regular basis.
Dinner:
Skinless breast of Chicken (cooked anyway but fried)
1 cup of mixed vegetable stir-fry (sautéed in vegetable oil)
Snack:
Celery and carrot sticks, non-fat dressing.
½ chicken breast = 25g protein
125ml tin of tuna = 26g protein
125ml of peanuts = 19g protein
Basically, carbohydrate intake should range from 6 to 11g/kg bodyweight
and make up 55-60% of your total caloric intake.
Hydration
Drink before you are thirsty!
By the time your body signals thirst you are 1% dehydrated.
At 2% dehydration the body’s capacity to perform work may drop
by 10-15%.
or competition.
During exercise consume eight to ten ounces every 15-20 minutes.
After exercise drink 16-20 ounces for every pound of body weight that
is lost with exercise.

PREPARATION PROGRAM
Avoid Sports drinks, fruit juices are great along with water 25% juice 75% water.
DAY 2
Breakfast:
3 slices of French toast (made with 3 eggs and skim milk)
Low-calorie syrup
1 Piece of Fruit or Berries
1 Glass of Orange Juice (High Pulp)
Snack:
Non-fat yogurt with fruit

Tuna or chicken pitas (onion, diced tomato, shredded lettuce,
low-fat cheddar)
Glass of Water
Dinner:
Pasta with tomato sauce
Small tossed salad with non-fat dressing &Parmesan cheese
1bread roll with fat-free margarine
Snack:
Popcorn with small amount of fat-free margarine
Carbohydrates can be a very complex issue for athletes in training.
You need to make sure the carbs you ingest are quality carbs.
Whole wheat bread rather than white bread / brown rice rather than
white rice / Low glycemic carbs rather than high glycemic carbs.
If you are looking at the 15% rule which is a great guide for athletes
and your diet consists of 2000 calories per day you will need 75g
of protein; 3 meals with 25 grams of protein. For a diet of 4000
calories per day you will require 150g of protein; 5 meals of 30g/day.

sweating. This increases the body’s temperature which causes exhaustion,
decreased performance and increased potential for injury. For these
thirsty to take a drink you have waited to long. By the time you feel thirsty
you are already at about 1% dehydration, this equals close to 3 cups of
sweat for a 150 pound person!
At 2% dehydration your ability to perform
in sport may drop as much as 15%!
When you become dehydrated, your ability to think and react slows,
stamina and recuperation in suppressed, power and strength output drops
and the risk of injury increases dramatically!
male is 120 oz. For athletes working in the heat this may be substantially
more, drink as much as 8-10 ounces every 15-20 min or as much as you
can handle.
Fruit juices, especially orange juice and pure peach and pear juice are great
ways to replenish electrolytes lost via sweating. Mix them 25% juice and
75% water for the best results.
Hydration for the athlete is a full time job, as an athlete you must start
go to bed.
The key is never become thirsty!
Competitive Eating
Pre-competition Meals:
Choose familiar foods prior to competition and training. Meals and snacks
should be high in carbohydrates and low in protein. Pastas, vegetables,
whole grain cereals, bagels with cream cheese or peanut butter, cottage
cheese, trail mix or granola bars.
Post-Competition Meals
Post exercise meals should consist of carbohydrate rich foods that will
replenish glycogen stores quickly. Protein is also critical to recovery, best
consumed approximately 30 minutes after training or competition in the
amount of 20-30 grams. Small meals may then be consumed 2 and then

INFORMATION FORM
Nutrition operates on a 24 hour cycle, we say our athletes never make
more than a 24 hour mistake because eating constancy is critical to sport
performance. Proper diet will aid in preventing injury, provides the fuel we
need to train, compete and recover at optimal levels and has a profound
impact on mental alertness, focus and decision making.

Introduction
Strength & Conditioning for Baseball
Strength & Conditioning
The main goal of any well designed strength and conditioning program is three fold:
1) Decrease risk of injury.
PLAYER AGREEMENT
There are fundamental principles that must be considered when preparing yourself for a sport. Baseball presents some very unique
challenges in regards to athlete preparation. The human body was really not designed for rotational movement and certainly, throwing and
hitting a baseball are some of the most demanding movements the body will have to deal with in a sport setting. With this in mind, we
would like you to consider the following training principles as you begin your pre-Academy training program.
2) Maximize sport performance.
3) Maximize career longevity.

It is very important to prepare the body for the rigors of training. Be sure to warm-up, cool down and stretch for every training session.

performance and decrease risk of injury, there have been different views as to when stretching should be performed in a training program.
Recent research has shown that static stretching (stretches that are held 15-60 seconds) may not be as effective as part of the warm-up
training sessions as part of your cool-down.
DAILY SCHEDULE
Cool-Down: The cool-down is one of the most important parts of your day. It sets your body up for recovery. It has been shown that
lactate build up due to high intensity exercise is broken down and removed from the muscle tissue up to 90% more effectively with 10-12
minutes of continuous low intensity (50% of max) exercise.
