Answer 1

if you have access to a agility ladder

use it

do tuck jumps (jump and bring your knees up to your chest in the air)

lift weights

work your core alot because alot of energy comes from this area when you are hitting

planks (http://exercise.about.com/od/abs/ss/abex...

squats to build butt muscles

box jumps(if you can) get a sturdy wooden box thats about 1 foot and a half high and just keep jumping on and off of it

dont eat heavy foods right before you practice eat fruit or pasta salad or yogurt or trail mix

stretch alot before you start a game

good luck i hope i helped

Answer 2

you should do a lot of running! It will help w/ your speed and make your legs stronger! for the food, try not to eat a lot of donuts and soda!!! Try to drink a lot of water and eat a lot of protein!

Answer 3

when i played in high school my coach told us to not eat fast food as much..try maybe once a week..always eat before practice! not right before but make sure you have time to digest..a couple of times i didn't eat & i gor light-headed & started to blackout with my vision..to stay in shape i definately would run.start off small..maybe one lap & then build up from there..it builds endurance..do lungs & wall-sits....so i have a ton of more advice but yea i wish you the best of luck & if you have or need more advice on techniques or more work-outs feel free to ask on my vlog at www.youtube.com/lavamonster4   i just started this vlog thing but im really down to helping..thanks & check it out anytime =]
