I agree with Rabmacd - one of my college flat-mates had been a competitive swimmer and was still playing waterpolo for Scotland when I lived with her. The night before a big match she would put open bottles of coke in the fridge, as the caffine and sugar-rush was a big help, but the gas wasn't! She also used to swear by eating a raw jelly straight from the packet right before going in the water for a pretty instant energy rush (think this was more for the swimming comps than polo) I don't think there is one rule fits all, but an interesting discussion!
