  7. Why Do You Need Protein? • After Exercise • Allows the body to maximize the effects of exercise/strength training • Helps with the goal of being bigger, stronger, faster • So when you go into the corner to get the puck, you come out with it and the opponent on the ground • Allows the body to repair the muscles with protein while using the carbohydrates for energy • What to have? • Gatorade Recovery Formula • WHEY PROTEIN
