      "acceptedAnswer": {
        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "Left to their own devices, athletes across team sports consistently under-consume carbohydrate relative to training load and over-rely on protein-heavy meals that feel satisfying but don't fuel high-intensity work. This isn't a character flaw, it reflects how most people eat in everyday life, where energy demand is low and protein satiety is useful."

        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "The clubs that handle this well don't rely on education alone. Education is necessary but insufficient, knowing that carbohydrate supports high-intensity output doesn't automatically change what a twenty-two-year-old chooses to eat at 7pm after training."

        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "Team sport demands that eleven, fifteen, or twenty-three individuals perform at the same time, in the same conditions, against the same opposition. The preparation that supports that performance cannot be coherent if it is entirely individualised."

      "acceptedAnswer": {
        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "Treat fuelling as part of your preparation, not an afterthought. The science only helps when it is applied consistently: plan around your training and competition, fuel before you feel you need to, and review what works for you over time. Science in Sport products are designed to make evidence-based fuelling simple to get right, so you arrive prepared and perform with confidence."
