Soccer Players Need to eat Breakfast

For any soccer team that has some tournaments coming up this summer, you may want to let your players know about this...

I was talking to a sports nutritionist (who also happens to be a friend of mine) the other day about performance of athletes and since we were on the soccer field, specifically about soccer players. We got onto the subject of breakfast, and how breakfast for a soccer player is so key to their performance.

What she said was this, when athletes wake up in the morning, they are nutritionally deficient. Many times they have gone more than 12 hours without eating. Their energy levels are thus low and their body needs to be fed with excellent nutrients for them to perform at a high athletic level. Many players however, will not eat well in the morning and this will cause lower productivity for these soccer players. Breakfast high in good carbohydrates will make a lot of sense for any player who will be playing a morning game or have a morning practice.

So get some good carbs in ya and have a great day!
