Athletes need good recovery for top performance - the sooner you recover, the sooner you can train well again. In addition to your recovery snack of a banana, cereal bar and a chocolate milk in the first 20min after your game. Stretching after your game will help recovery: 10 stretches and hold each for 10 secs. Repeat twice. Later in the day or the next day, try some Active recovery - like walking or swimming for 20min. Try combining both... swim a length, get out and walk a length.
