Sports and nutrition are directly related to each other. Careful planning and implementation is required when it comes to athlete sports nutrition. The nutritional diet of an athlete deserves proper attention like selection of foods, timing of food intake, selection of nutrition supplement and hydration. These things should be decided while keeping in mind the athletes' energy needs, body composition, type of sport and rest recovery time.Here are some sports nutrition diet tips:

• Fats. 20-25% of your energy should come from fats, anything less then that won’t be able to make any contribution in boosting your performance level.
• Eat frequently. It's important to eat before, during and after every exercise session. This helps to control blood glucose level, which can help enhance your performance and boost your energy.
• Hydration. Fluid loss takes place during exercise, which causes dehydration. Dehydration can eventually cause heat stroke or other heat related illnesses. It is vital to drink adequate water during and after exercise.
• Balance. It is important for athletes to eat a balanced diet consisting of plenty of proteins, vitamins and minerals.

Everything athlete is different.  Finding the right combination of these four things will help you feel great and play great.
