Good training without proper nutrition = wasted effort. Here’s a step-by-step guide: Step 1: Protein - Build and repair muscles - Examples: chicken, eggs, whey protein Step 2: Carbs - Energy for explosive moves - Examples: rice, oats, sweet potatoes Step 3: Hydration - Drink water throughout the day - Avoid sugary drinks during workouts Step 4: Pre-Workout Snack - Light carbs + protein 30–60 min before training - Example: banana + peanut butter 💡 Tip: Track what you eat. Nutrition + training = faster results.

Recovery is where gains happen. Follow these steps: Step 1: Foam Roll (5 min) - Quads, calves, hamstrings - Focus on sore spots, don’t rush Step 2: Hip Mobility (3 min) - Hip circles, leg swings, butterfly stretch Step 3: Cool Down - Slow jog or walk for 3–5 min Step 4: Sleep & Hydration - 7–9 hours sleep - Drink water before, during, and after workouts 💡 Action: Post your post-workout recovery routine. Compare and tweak for better results.

Both are important. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown: Step 1: Speed - Short sprints, shuttle runs, and ladder drills - Focus: Quick first step and lateral movement Step 2: Strength - Weighted squats, lunges, and explosive jumps - Focus: Finish stronger, jump higher, absorb contact Step 3: Combine Both - Example Week: 💡 Tip: If you only do one, your game is limited. Explosive strength + speed = elite performance.
