Drink water for optimal athletic performance

Supplements, massage guns, saunas, and cold plunges are some of the ways people look to get healthier. What is often found, however, is that they need to drink more water. The developing athlete—and athletes in general—need water. Water is the foundation of every process in the body. If you want to optimize your performance, drink more water! Here are four great benefits of increasing water intake:

Maximizes Performance & Endurance:

For muscles to function at their best, you must be hydrated! Dehydration can lead to early fatigue, muscle cramps, and a drop in endurance. By drinking enough water, athletes can maintain peak performance, whether they’re training or competing.

Aids in Faster Recovery:

Many athletes ask me the best way to recover quickly after long competition weekends. Drink more water!! After intense workouts or competitions, hydration is key for muscle repair and reducing soreness. Water helps flush out toxins and metabolic waste products that build up in muscles during exercise. This speeds up recovery and helps prevent overtraining injuries.

Regulates Body Temperature During Activity:

As an athlete, high intensity is just part of the day-to-day. To work at a high intensity, the body will heat up! Water helps regulate body temperature through sweat and heat dissipation. Dehydration can impair this process, increasing the risk of overheating, heat exhaustion, or even heatstroke—especially in high-intensity or hot conditions.

Supports Joint & Muscle Function:

Water is maintenance for the body! It acts as a lubricant for your joints and muscles. Staying hydrated helps keep your muscles flexible and your joints properly lubricated, reducing the risk of strains, sprains, and joint discomfort. This is particularly important for athletes involved in high-impact or repetitive movements.

Water is essential for allowing athletes to perform at the highest level. Before you spend money on extra ways to increase athletic performance, check your water intake.
