Game day hydration is important. Follow the guidelines in the previous posts on hydration.
But remember, you need to hydrate correctly on a daily basis to avoid a significant fluid deficit at the end of the week when you have a game.
If you lose 1% of your body weight during a practice( that's only 1.7 pounds if you weigh 170 lbs.) that's enough to affect athletic performance. AND remember- fluid deficits can be cumulative-so we want to keep on top of our hydration on a daily basis to be in the best possible shape on game day.
