"We just completed the Las Vegas Kick Off Classic Tournament and I had two packs of the Enlyten strips in my ball bag. The strips worked very well. Two different ball players experienced inside leg cramps so I whipped out the Enlyten Electrolyte Plus…"

Terry Howarth replied to Mike L's discussion Best Batting Gloves
"I don't like any tacky so I try to pick pairs that are barely tacky and then grab a handful of dirt once in awhile before I step into the batter's box. The Neumanns are thick and they last a long time. That's what I like. If you like…"

Terry Howarth commented on Terry Howarth's blog post Leg Cramps
"Never thought about what I eat the day before a game. Maybe pasta? In the old days didn't we eat pasta the day before ? Now days I would have to say I eat what the wife puts in front of me. I Googled "Foods high in potassium" and they…"

Coach Dan commented on Terry Howarth's blog post Leg Cramps
"It does sound like a nutrition/hydration issue for sure. What is you hydration/potassium situation on non-game days? That will go a long way toward helping on long game/tourney days. I had a guy complain that he kept running out of energy toward…"

Terry Howarth commented on Terry Howarth's blog post Leg Cramps
"Greetings Coach Dan, I haven't had the inner thigh leg cramps since I started taking a tablespoon of the Creatine powder and washing it down with Gatorade. As far as when they usually hit after I've been on my legs all day. The worst case…"

Coach Dan commented on Terry Howarth's blog post Leg Cramps
"Hey Terry, First up, I'd take creatine off of that list. Creatine has been show to cause leg cramps in some situations... When do the leg cramps show up? Immediately upon starting physical activity, a little while in, or bottom of the 9th?…"

Greetings,

Does anyone have anything better for PREVENTING leg cramps than
Gatorade, Bananas, or Creatine ?

Thanks for your time,
