        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "Each player's positioning, decision-making, and work rate creates conditions for their teammates. When one player's cognitive sharpness drops, which happens well before any obvious physical decline, the system begins to compensate without realising it."

        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "Physical output, sprint speed, jump height, tackle completion, is measurable and visible. Cognitive output is not."

        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "Not all positions carry equal cognitive load. A central midfielder in a high-press system is making continuous decisions about pressing triggers, cover shadows, and transition moments."

        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "Most team nutrition conversations happen at the group level, the pre-match meal, the half-time protocol, the recovery window. Individual variation within that group rarely gets examined."

        "@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."
