Performance Enhancement

Performance Enhancement in soccer comes from multiple sources in soccer. Injury prevention will keep players healthy and practicing. Nutrition can elevate energy, recovery, and performance on the field. True performance enhancement comes through education of all the facets of state of the art soccer science.

At Emory Soccer Medicine, we are here to bring our international and professional soccer expertise to our community and players that wish to commit to more. Elite soccer science has traditionally been unavailable to the youth/amateur player and our commitment is to making the evidence based principles readily available to everyone who loves the game of soccer and wants to improve.

Nutrition

Most high level athletes understand nutrition is important to excel but lack the guidance and knowledge to actually make an impact on their performance with a soccer specific nutrition program.

Through our partners, the Emory Soccer Medicine Program has a unique avenue to help the soccer player understand the nutritional demands of the game, the training periods, and the recovery days that are essential for peak performance at all ages and levels.
