The coitus conundrum
When it comes to love, athletes are just as romantic as the next guy. That is, as long as they don't have a big game the next day. An energetic romp between the sheets the night before a competition, some athletes and coaches say, can lead to poor performance the following day.

I noticed the subtle point that the sex act itself might not be affect the athlete because while it was strenous, it wasn't all that long.... Hmm Ali "three minute rounds?" Infree

Baseball players are lucky if they get to first base one time out of three.

No sex before the big game
The urban myth that says an athlete is supposed to refrain from sexual activity and harness all aggression into a beautiful symphony of adrenaline, testosterone and victory.
Or so the theory goes for male athletes. For decades there has been a pervading thought that sex before sport diminishes an athlete’s competitive drive.Muhammad Ali’s trainer, Angelo Dundee, used to do everything in his power to keep his fighters from pre-fight fornication. http://theithacan.org/am/publish/spo...big_game.shtml

They cover this topic in "Why Do Men Fall Asleep After Sex". I thought it was an interesting myth. I hadn't heard of it before now.

Sex before the big game is far less distracting than sex during the big game.
