How to Fuel a Footballer – A Coaches Handbook

Coaches Handbooks – How to Fuel a Footballer

Supporting young footballers to train, compete, recover and grow starts with the right fuel and the right messages.
Coaches are hugely influential and players really do listen to what you say, so, we created this practical guide. The aim is to help you understand what young players need to eat and drink for football, from training days and match days and everything in between.

We help you reinforce positive messages around food, recognise things to look out for, and give you a practical, go-to guide for everyday coaching. Because well-fuelled kids are definitely easier to coach!
Written by Registered Sports & Public Health Nutritionists, this handbook gives coaches practical, easy-to-use guidance on fuelling footballers for training, matches and recovery.
