Whether you’re an amateur athlete or a Bundesliga professional, proper nutrition plays a crucial role in football. However, amateur players in particular often do not know how to fully exploit their performance. This is exactly where Stephan Berg and Felix von Zabiensky come in with MATCHDAY NUTRITION®: With their innovative nutritional supplements, they have created a solution that helps amateur and professional soccer players significantly improve their performance on the field. Find out here how MATCHDAY NUTRITION® differs from classic fitness supplements.
Football is and remains the most popular sport in Germany: according to statistics, several million people prefer to spend their free time on the field. The majority of amateur and professional footballers already know that performance in football is closely linked to nutrition. The integration of nutritional supplements in particular offers a decisive advantage: you can optimize the training results and improve game performance. However, despite these benefits, many football players – especially at the amateur level – still have little awareness of the importance of better nutritional habits. In addition, numerous snacks, drinks and nutritional solutions in the fitness and sports sectors are simply outdated. “Most amateur footballers are not aware that there are scientifically based alternatives to classic fitness supplements that are much better tailored to the specific needs of footballers,” warns Stephan Berg, who founded MATCHDAY NUTRITION® together with Felix von Zabiensky .
“Many of the classic fitness supplements such as protein powder or boosters are not suitable for footballers because they have different nutrient requirements and different exercise times compared to training in the gym,” continues Felix von Zabiensky. “Most soccer players primarily need carbohydrates, functional amino acids and electrolytes for intensive exercise over at least 90 minutes on the soccer field.” This is exactly where Stephan Berg and Felix von Zabiensky come in: With MATCHDAY NUTRITION®, they have created a contact point for soccer players who are looking for scientifically based nutritional supplements. Their innovative range of practical bars, powders and other nutritional supplements is tailored precisely to the needs of footballers. Thanks to a specially tailored nutrient composition, the products ensure that the players can achieve their maximum performance in all phases of training and throughout the duration of the football game. The products were developed in close collaboration with nutritionists, and the effectiveness of the ingredients has been proven by studies. So it’s no wonder that countless football players, including numerous professionals from the first and second Bundesliga, now rely on MATCHDAY NUTRITION® to achieve their long-term performance goals.
The special features of MATCHDAY NUTRITION®
In contrast to classic fitness training, which focuses heavily on protein to build muscle, footballers primarily need vitamins, minerals, amino acids and carbohydrates. The reason: In football, explosive sprints alternate with intense runs. Added to this is the long playing time of 90 minutes. In comparison, a typical fitness session with short exercise intervals is significantly less demanding on the body. In addition, classic fitness supplements and energy drinks usually only contain small amounts of caffeine, but a lot of unnecessary additives.
For this reason, Stephan Berg and Felix von Zabiensky have developed special products for footballers with MATCHDAY NUTRITION® – such as the BOOST product range, which aims to reduce lactate formation and prevent muscle fatigue. In contrast to conventional fitness supplements, which usually contain too much simple sugar and are supplemented with caffeine, the carbohydrate isomaltulose is used here, which ensures a long-lasting energy supply. There are also ingredients such as creatine and beta-alanine, which improve explosiveness, speed and endurance. Colors and additives were deliberately avoided during development. In addition, MATCHDAY NUTRITION® offers the REFUEL product range, whose products can be taken after training or games to shorten the regeneration time. Also popular is the STRONG product range, which supports muscles, joints and ligaments thanks to ingredients such as turmeric, frankincense and pine bark extract.
The mission of MATCHDAY NUTRITION®
The bars, powders and nutritional supplements from MATCHDAY NUTRITION® are not only designed to optimize the performance of footballers – they are also extremely practical to use. They can be prepared in less than ten seconds and fit easily into any training bag, making them ideal for athletes’ everyday lives. With over 15 different flavors, MATCHDAY NUTRITION® also offers a wide selection to meet the preferences of all customers. The company follows a comprehensive 360-degree nutritional approach that considers nutrition before, during and after training or games to maximize athletic performance at all stages. The aim of MATCHDAY NUTRITION® is to question traditional nutritional habits in football and to offer healthier alternatives to classic fitness supplements.
“We are convinced that our products far beat classic fitness supplements with their short-term effects,” emphasizes Felix von Zabiensky. “With MATCHDAY NUTRITION® we are closing the gap in football nutrition. Our goal is to sustainably change outdated eating habits that lack any scientific basis – and instead to ensure a truly performance-optimized diet. Our particular aim is to: “To address not only the Bundesliga professionals, but also amateur footballers, who of course have much less support when it comes to nutrition. In short: With MATCHDAY NUTRITION®, every player should be able to develop their full potential.”
