I am surprised they emphasize "development of the cognitive functions required to excel in soccer" but not physical development from meat (and hence higher protein) consumption
- wumpus 4y ago> and hence higher protein There are a ton of professional athletes who don't eat meat and apparently get plenty of protein.
- matwood 4y agoIt’s a lot easier today with the wealth of information and foods, particular for professional athletes.
- ravi_m 4y agobut that doesn't change the fact that meat is a rich source of protein which is beneficial for physical development
- wumpus 4y agoSure: some athletes get a lot of protein that way, and others get a lot of protein without eating any meat. It's beneficial for muscle-building either way you do it.
- UIUC_06 4y ago> There are a ton of professional athletes How many can you name? Or, since that would be anecdotal: what surveys have been done of professional athletes' diets? And if there are any, is the percentage of vegetarians higher than a comparable group in the same age bracket?
