Installing Today’s Hybrid Pistol Offense Run & Pass from Top to Bottom
This manual provides you with the full offensive line, receiver, and quarterback mechanics for installing each offensive play presented. Coach Campbell has left no stone unturned for implementing today’s Pistol Offense into your program.
What kinds of things do you feed your team for pregame meal? When I was in H.S. we had pasta but I have since learned that it is to heavy to eat before the game. What kinds of things do you feed your guys?
IN 42 YEARS OF COACHING, HAVE WATCHED THE PREGAME MEAL EVOLVE THROUGH EVERY CYCLE IMAGINABLE. For long years it was all about protein, then came the emphasis on carbs, etc.
What Always seemd to work best for us was to carbo load 24 hours before game time with plenty of pastas, potatoes and the like. Then on game day, eggs with a breakfast meat, (being southern boys we eat grits in place of home fries, etc.) and juice for breakfast.
Then, depending upon game time, we would feed chicken (broiled or baked) with a vegetable, whole grain breads, tea or milk (nothing carbonated as that causes yout to urinate away your electrolytes) about 4 hours prior to warm ups. Stay away from greasy, heavy foods of any type as you want them to avoid that hard to digest stuff. (bar-B-que, etc.) and avoid that "stuffed" feeling. For dessert, we would serve Jello with fruit. Just our way.

In my studies, the pregame meal should be about 500-800 calories, 15% Protein, 15% fat, 70% carbs. We choose from boneless/skinless chicken, cold cuts, peanut butter, pasta w/lean meatballs. We usually have three/four menus that we rotate throughout the season. Also, it is key that they eat 4 hours before kickoff so their digestive system isn't tying up their energy that they'll need for the field. Also, we say water for the big guys, and gatorade for the skinny guys, especially on hot/humid days where cramping is a factor. We don't let anything be drank with sugar, caffeine, or carbonation.
Sounds like a good plan Playa. Would caution you against cold cuts as they are loaded with sodium which is turning out to be the real enemy of heart and liver function. Most everyone is aware of adding extra salt to your food is bad for you, but most are not aware of the sodium (salt that occurs naturally) in the food they eat. I, personally, learned the hard way when my liver went beserk in a two week period and came within a nats eyelash of doing me in. My doctors and the good Lord saved my life one night and I became acutely aware of high sodium content foods. MAIN OFFENDERS ARE PREPACKAGED BAKED GOODS, BROTHS, GRAVIES, PREPACKAGED COLD CUTS OF ANY KIND (HOT DOGS ARE SUPER HIGH)
I adhere strictly to a 2000 milligram of sodium per day intake and usually stay right around 500 and don't get anywhere near the 2000. Works great for me. Salt(sodium) makes you retain water and thus makes your heart work harder, it is the real nemisis. I have become a real crusader for low sodium foods and cringe when I see folks just pour on the salt when they get their food.
