More energy at night than during the day means I am out of shape?

I can sprint faster at night than during the day for example. When its cool out, I can run faster and have more energy to do things. When its warm, I do not have as much energy at all and don't feel like doing anything. I also get tired faster during the day and more fatique feeling. Does this mean I am out of shape for endurance and speed endurance? This affects me when I play softball during the day and I want it to stop! I want to run my full speed and have all my energy. I want to perform the same way I do at night playing. I am really good when playing at night slowpitch softball fielding and baserunning), but during the day when I play fastpitch games in the summer or tryouts for my college team or even back when I was in high school and also even when playing soccer, same thing happens.

I want to know how I can fix this, so it won't matter what time or day it is. Soccer Players and baseball/fastpitch softball players all play during the day most of the time and they are speedy fast and can do everything. I want to be that person. I don't want weather to affect me anymore.

Hi there. When you perform later in the day is it after you eat dinner or before?
 
That's an easy one mate. Your body is fasting in the morning and is still stiff from sleeping the "8-hour shift". It's well known, and proven, that our bodies function better later on, with optimal performances towards the evening. So, you are not alone, everyone is like that. People who train early in the morning have other reasons than " i work out better in the morning".

How can you fix it? You can't, the only thing you can do is make sure that you have a good warm up prior to exercise; your joints suffer the most you know. If you feel low on energy and you see that there is a pattern there, make sure that you eat something a couple of hours before you exercise. Lots of stickies on nutrition, pre- and post-exercise eating, stretching for you to explore in this forum.
