Great summary from @tecoughlin on our recently published paper around Supporting the Support Staff in soccer

[Tom Coughlin @tecoughlin]

“Supporting the support staff” - nutritional strategies to enhance recovery & wellbeing in football performance staff ⚽️

There is an ever-increasing rise in training / match / travel demands of players 📈

But the support staff often experience significantly extended work hours above player attendance🚨

This new review summarised the literature on potential strategies to support those support staff 🔍

The following 4 factors were identified as nutritional opportunities to enhance recovery and wellbeing 👇

Sleep Strategies 😴
🍗 Tryptophan-rich protein
🍺 Reduce alcohol consumption
☕️ Reduce caffeine consumption
🍒 Antioxidants & Polyphenols

Immune Strategies 🤧
🥯 Carbohydrate intake
⚪️ Zinc lozenges
🐟 Omega-3 intake
🫐 Antioxidants & Polyphenols

Positive Nutritional Habits 🧠
⏰ Regular eating pattern
🍽️ Environmental factors
🥪 Food availability & accessibility

Well-being & Job Effectiveness ✅
🔥 Energy & macronutrient provision
🙋‍♂️ Personalised nutrition
💧 Hydration

More specific research is required to identify the risks and subsequent needs of support staff in pro sport 🔍

Which this review eloquently highlights & provides initial tools for 🫡

@RoyalMailHelp why is your Click & Drop on the website only allowing ‘collection’. I’m not interested in waiting until someone can collect when I can walk to the post box, already missed todays post as a result. When will you change it back?

@opheIiyuh @scarletttwooter @Lacey_Laces @Spigzy @nypost what you’re not considering are all the training adaptations through yrs of maturing & training as a male. It would be like an athlete having 3.5yrs training on PEDs & only being clean for the Olympics… that’s just not fair on those clean throughout. Take your blinkers off 🙈

@GOoutdoors I have rang this number sooooo many times. One person emailed back after chatting to him saying he’d get back to me…. Didn’t. Another rang back a few times, but then must have given up trying. I’m still waiting for the “one of tele-sales”. Bored of trying, no one wants to help

[Ed Tooley @ETNutrition]

@GOoutdoors shall me and my mate give up trying to buy items you say are available but seem impossible to purchase? It’s been two months now. Think it’s now 5 members of your team I’m waiting to hear back from #NoOneBothers #LostCause

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again! Officials and Referee’s need to explain themselves after the fights! We get punched in the head for 36mins and then get a camera shoved in our face and asked to explain our tactics and thoughts! WHY CAN’T OFFICIALS? #TaylorCatterall
