Why work on keeping hydrated?

Maintaining adequate hydration is essential for top athletic performance and health. Inadequate fluid can cause you to fatigue early, affect your ability to think clearly, make you prone to injury and hurt your sport performance. Fluid and electrolyte balance can quickly change to imbalance which will have immediate consequences on athletic performance.
If you sweat heavily(heavy pads, helmets, and high temperatures can make you sweat heavily) and fail to replace your sweat losses, you reduce your ability to provide adequate circulation to muscles-you need adequate adequate circulation because body fluids help transport glucose (energy) to the hard working muscles and also help to carry away lactic acid.
