Performance isn't built in training alone: it also starts on the plate. From recreational exercisers to athletes, we tailor diet and supplementation to the demands of each sport, with special attention to soccer players, the practice's main sports audience.

The Sports Nutrition service brings together two areas: specific follow-up for soccer players and sports nutrition with supplementation for people who practice other sports. In both, strategic nutrition, consistent training and quality sleep and recovery are treated as the pillars of performance.

Who it's for

  • Young soccer players who want to improve or pursue a career
  • People who do weight training, running, CrossFit and other sports
  • Athletes preparing for matches, races and competitions
  • Anyone seeking muscle gain or definition
  • Fatigue, cramps and slow recovery after training
  • Anyone who wants to use supplements with professional guidance

Soccer spotlight

Your soccer performance doesn't depend only on what happens on the field

Every training session demands energy, strength, recovery and adaptation from the body. And it is nutrition that provides the nutrients this whole process needs to work at its best.

Background

Esporte Clube União São João de Araras

Team nutritionist in the 2000 São Paulo State Championship

Soccer is part of my professional story

Early in my career, I worked as the nutritionist for União São João de Araras, following players closely and learning the demands of the sport on and off the field.

That experience shaped the work I do today with soccer players, especially young athletes who want to improve in the sport or pursue a professional career.

Match day

What an athlete eats in the 24 hours before an important match

In the 24 hours before an important match, an athlete doesn't eat “more”. They eat better.

Goals of the nutrition strategy

  • Maximize glycogen stores (muscle energy)
  • Provide protein for recovery and to preserve muscle mass
  • Maintain proper hydration
  • Avoid gastrointestinal discomfort that could affect performance
  1. BreakfastEnergizing and balanced3-4h before
  2. LunchRich in complex carbohydrates and protein3-4h before
  3. Pre-game snackLight and easy to digest1-2h before
  4. HydrationIn small amountsThroughout the day

Each sport, field position and athlete has different needs. That's why an individualized meal plan makes all the difference in performance.

On the athlete's plate

The foods that are the foundation of performance

Each group plays a role on the field: energy, strength, focus, endurance and recovery.

01

Complex carbohydrates

The main source of energy for training and matches. They sustain performance and prevent early fatigue.

02

Quality protein

Essential for building and repairing muscle, preventing injuries and strengthening the body.

03

Healthy fats

Provide sustained energy, help absorb vitamins and support hormonal health.

04

Vitamins and minerals

Strengthen immunity and help with muscle contraction and energy production.

05

Hydration

Keeps the body in balance, improves focus and endurance and prevents cramps and injuries.

06

Fiber and whole grains

Improve gut health and ensure a steady release of energy throughout the day.

07

Choline and omega-3

Nutrients that support brain function, focus and decision-making on the field.

08

Dark leafy greens

Rich in iron, calcium and antioxidants that improve muscle oxygenation and recovery.

Supplementation

Supplements that, when well prescribed, complement the routine

Important: Supplementation does not replace a balanced diet. It should be individualized and used only when there is a need, always under the guidance of a nutritionist.

  • Creatine

    Increases strength, power and performance in short, high-intensity exercise. Improves muscle recovery.

  • Whey protein

    A fast, high-quality source of protein. Supports protein synthesis, muscle recovery and lean mass maintenance.

  • Omega-3

    Anti-inflammatory action that supports recovery, reduces muscle soreness and improves cardiovascular health.

  • Beta-alanine

    Increases muscular endurance and reduces fatigue, improving performance in high-intensity, longer-duration exercise.

  • Magnesium

    Essential for muscle contraction, energy production and cramp prevention. Contributes to sleep and recovery.

  • Citrulline malate

    Improves blood flow and nutrient delivery to the muscles, reduces fatigue and extends performance on the field.

  • Vitamin D

    Strengthens immunity and supports muscle function and bone health. Low levels can affect performance.

  • Electrolytes

    Replace minerals lost in sweat (sodium, potassium, magnesium). Maintain hydration, fluid and electrolyte balance and performance.

  • Coenzyme Q10

    Supports energy production in the cells and protects against oxidative stress, helping endurance and recovery.

  • Glutamine

    Supports muscle recovery, strengthens the immune system and contributes to gut health.
