Most underfuelled players don't look underfuelled — until it shows up on the pitch
In a survey of 1,030 football parents:
- 84% said their child runs out of energy during games
- 78% noticed irritability or flatness after training
- 69% said recovery between sessions is a real struggle
- 97% weren't fully confident their child eats enough to perform
It's rarely about effort. It's about the right fuel, at the right time, in the right amount — and most families are guessing.
The good news: this is fixable with simple, football-specific nutrition, not a diet overhaul.
