It is necessary to hydrate with water and isotonic drinks and reduce alcoholic beverages as much as possible. A soccer player does without a party for a large part of his life. The diet must be varied, balanced and meet the needs of each individual. High sugar content should be avoided. His life is based on constantly practicing to bring together as many qualities as possible: dribbling, passing, shooting, definition, his less skilled leg… A large part of his day-to-day life consists of practicing these skills, either on the training field or through videos.
A footballer is obliged to be in good physical shape. Elite sport is demanding and care is taken down to the smallest details. Speed and endurance are two aspects that players practice in their training sessions. This is complemented by sessions in the gym, either at the club’s own facilities or at home. In addition, they must be prepared for coordination and balance. In the middle of a match they collide, stop, turn, accelerate, brake… Being in good physical shape is fundamental to perform these actions without getting injured. They take great care of their body because a player prone to injury loses a lot of value.
