How educating young footballers about the importance of real food supports long-term development

Nutrition is one of the most undervalued pillars in the development of a young footballer. Many players train well and compete with intensity, but they do not reach their true potential because they do not understand what they eat or why they eat it. At formative ages, talking about nutrition should not focus only on restrictions, but on transmitting useful knowledge that can be applied in daily life. For this reason, educating in healthy eating habits is just as important as any work done on the pitch.
