Why does my mouth feel dry after drinking water?

This isn’t like other problems. My mouth doesn’t feel constantly dry like others, so it’s not diabetes. But when I’m getting ready for soccer practice, around two hours before I like to drink a lot of water, but it makes my mouth feel really dry. Why is this?

    it’s really not good to drink a lot of water before soccer practice like that. For one, too much water dilutes the sodium in your body and can lead to hyponatremia.

    It is much better to drink during and after your practice than a lot before the practice.

    When too much water enters the body’s cells, the tissues swell with the excess fluid. Your cells maintain a specific concentration gradient, so excess water outside the cells (the serum) draws sodium from within the cells out into the serum in an attempt to re-establish the necessary concentration. As more water accumulates, the serum sodium concentration drops
