Nutrition and performance: how did a nutritionist help Harry Kane become the best?

Secrets of success and rules of life of the England striker Harry Kane.

The England striker has already scored 6 goals at World Cup matches – this is the best result at the 2018 games. Today in the match England – Croatia fans expect from him new goals and beautiful passes. But Kane did not immediately began to show phenomenal results. As the English striker himself assures, he was helped to achieve success by proper nutrition.

The effective game in Tottenham and good luck at the first World Cup for Kane are not only the merits of the coaching staff. It is not for nothing that all coaches and nutritionists of the world say that training alone to keep fit is not enough, you need to combine hard physical work with a proper balanced diet and recovery.

No diets

Harry Kane does not sit on diets, but adheres to proper nutrition. He doesn’t reveal who his nutritionist is and the chef who cooks at his home six days a week, but he did share one day’s diet with the press.

A few rules of thumb

• It is important to get carbohydrates at either lunch or dinner.
• Kane drinks isotonic during training, water the rest of the time and no alcohol.
• In between soccer seasons, Harry can afford to eat a chocolate bar.
• The main thing for him is consistency and adherence to the rules, otherwise you can not achieve great success.

The footballer manages to keep himself in shape, because, of course, he does not eat harmful products. And since January 1, 2017, he has made adjustments to his diet: previously he was eating according to the idea of a healthy lifestyle, but now he has changed the time of intake of certain products and claims that thanks to the change of habits he felt a global change.

“Eating the right foods at the right times has helped me recover from my injury in 4 weeks instead of 6-8 weeks and feel a surge of strength and energy. I used to think that the time you eat wasn’t really important, but my chef explained that it’s actually harder for the body to digest inappropriately timed foods and absorb nutrients. So if you don’t keep a balance, if you don’t get your eating schedule in line with your training, you’re just going to eat but not get full,” Kane commented.

Harry discusses his meal plan beforehand to understand how and why this system will work. While he is in training, the cook prepares him full meals and leaves them in the fridge.

Before coming to the championship in Russia, the English forward played two games a week and had virtually no time for training and recovery, so he had to give himself a rest and take care of his body in other possible ways: cold baths, stretching and, of course, nutrition. Speaking of which, Kane never consumes alcohol during the soccer season.

Soccer star Harry Kane is a true role model, he strives to push himself to the max, find hidden potential and push the limits of his abilities. We wish the forward good luck in achieving his goals and good luck in the game!
