ASC FREEDOM NUTRITION
Soccer is a sport that requires both power and endurance.
During training periods, an athlete’s daily food and drink intake influences her ability
to sustain energy, build muscle, and recover quickly. In order to perform at maximum capacity,
an athlete needs the proper balance of carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals and fluids.
As Coach’s we recognize the importance of good nutrition practices,
however good nutrition practices don’t just happen. Rather there is an education process,
and a commitment requirement by both the parent and the player. If you are willing to
monitor your food/drink intake practices and modify as needed you will see great results.
We are extremely fortunate to have two people who are willing to help both the
girls and the families in this area of nutrition.

be an important aspect of sports and of life in general. Falayi has a Masters in Nutrition
and worked on a number of applied sports nutrition projects back in college while competing in
college and club-level track and field events. Being an athlete who has both learned and put
into practice the healthy nutrition principles, Falayi is our resident expert in the area of nutrition.
