PROPER NUTRITION FOR
SOCCER PLAYERS

Soccer nutrition is something that I always thought made a big part in every soccer players game performance as well as practice intensity in which players perform.

I always knew there were some foods that are great in nutrition for soccer players compared to other foods that many of us ingest before our games making us slower and more quickly fatigued when playing in a fast paced soccer game.

I never really followed what I ate or how much water I drank prior to my games up until a few months ago when I started to do research about soccer nutrition to increase my performance on the field because I started to practice 3 times a week and play 2 games every week.

I realized that nutrition for soccer players makes a big difference on players stamina most of all.

Eating the proper soccer foods will make every soccer player recover quicker from constant short sprints and direction change which occurs during any game or practice.

Quicker recovery will allow players to stay concentrated during the game because of the oxygen reaching the brain which helps with mental concentration and overall performance during any fast paced soccer match.

Soccer players perform many short bursts of speed, change of direction, running with the soccer ball and jogging during a typical 90 min soccer game.

Average soccer player covers 3-9 miles during every game depending on the level of soccer being played, from amateur to professional.

Proper soccer foods are rich in carbohydrates which produces a chemical in your body called glycogen that is stored in your muscles and liver.

Because of game intensity, short sprints and sudden change of direction will make soccer players deplete their glycogen stored in liver and muscles.

This will than cause the body to use fat as the reserve fuel making the player very fatigued for one simple reason; fat is not a very efficient provider of instant energy and its burned by our body rather slow.

Fatigue will cause much slower mental concentration and thought processing which right away causes reaction and speed to suffer.

With the proper soccer nutrition, eating soccer foods rich in carbohydrates will create enough glycogen that is stored in liver and muscles so that soccer players can perform at peak level from the beginning of the game until the final whistle.

The right nutrition for soccer players can be looked at as soccer fuel making the body perform at the same level for the whole 90 minutes of the game.

Many players out there are very skillful during the first 10-30 min of their game. Touch on the ball is great, passing and shooting are on target and their game concentration is superb.

However after 10-30 min into the game soccer nutrition comes into play making the player fatigued and tired.

This will than cause mental concentration and decision making on the soccer field a lot worse.

Touch on the ball will start to suffer and so will passing and shooting due to being tired.

Fatigue creeps up on soccer players because of using up all of the glycogen stored in the liver and muscles during the first half of the game so the body starts using fat as body fuel later on in the game.

This usually happens because of a bad soccer diet and not enough proper soccer nutritional foods rich in carbohydrates that create glycogen, our fuel :)

You can be the judge of the importance of good soccer diet for the performance on the field, especially the 2nd half of the match :)
