It is very important to eat healthily for any sport. Many people who play golf, for example, think that it is just important to improve golf swing and they do not consider that how well they eat can affect their play. In order to have the stamina to play a long game, it is important to make sure that the food that is eaten beforehand will release energy slowly rather than quickly. If you have lots of energy at the beginning of the game it will mean that you are likely to star off playing very well, but if you start to flag at the end then you could lose more than the head start that you get at the beginning.
