Fueling Guide: Hydration

FEBRUARY 24, 2024

Introducing the John Jay Soccer Fueling Guide: Hydration, now available on our Player Resources page. This guide emphasizes the importance of proper hydration for optimal performance on the field. The guide includes:

Pre-Practice/Game Hydration:

Normalizing fluid and electrolyte levels before activity is crucial. Athletes should aim for 80 to 96 ounces of fluid daily and drink 16 ounces two hours before exercise.

Hydration During Practice/Games:

To prevent dehydration, players should drink ½ cup (4 oz.) of fluid every 15 to 20 minutes during practice and replenish approximately 3 cups (24 oz.) for every pound lost.

Choosing the Right Fluids:

Water is ideal for shorter workouts, while hypotonic or isotonic sports drinks are recommended for high-intensity sessions lasting over an hour.
