I play in a premier soccer league over the summer. I’ve noticed that my energy level is never consistent for my games. Some games I feel unstoppable and seem to never fatigue. Other games I just feel sluggish and have to sub much more frequently. I can’t seem to pinpoint what causes my energy levels to fluctuate so much. My workouts in the gym seem to always be great and never have this type of issue. Anyone else involved with sports that have this type of problem?? Any suggestions?

seems obvious but pre game nutrition? eat the same thing everytime? -
not enough sleep/ rest the night before a game...Comment

Eat the same thing every day of the week at the same time. Nutrition would seem to be the obvious reason but not in my case. Maybe I should try some pre-workout sup before a game??
I'm not a great sleeper but again that always stays the same too.Comment

so nothing at all is different between 1 game where you will have energy and the next you dont?
maybe hormonal?Comment

That's the thing... no changes and my level of play is like night and day.Originally posted by THE BOUNCER View Post
Hormonal? Not sure about that one but I'm going to say NO! :DComment

something is different bro. your not thinking hard enough. if nothing was different then it would be the same. simple logic.
over training? mentally exhausted. give me something here.Comment

Something is different.
Certain body part you've trained before - legs opposed to arms?
Stress - one game after work, another on the weekend?
No stimulant at all - coffee, tea?
What is it Chad!Comment

Ahhhhh! Believe me, that's why I'm posting this because I cannot put a finger on it. My workouts during soccer season are Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun. I have soccer games on Tues & Thurs. Usually always train the same body parts during the week and leave legs for the weekends. Maybe it is stress related and I just don’t realize it. I really don’t get stressed too easily but maybe I hang on to more stress then I recognize.
For those that play competitive sports, do you take any sups the day of or before games?Comment

is the tuesday game usually better then the thurs game?
i would bet on over training if thursday is the slow day.Comment

I guess I'm going to chalk it up as stress. Not sure what else it could be. It is so random and does not have a pattern to it. But it's like lifting in the gym when on cycle and then lifting when off.Originally posted by THE BOUNCER View PostComment
