by Ivan Mizzi - 23rd July 2014

On Tuesday, Fitness Consultant and Personal Trainer, Matthaeus Grasso who would be forming part of the Birkirkara FC Academy, held the first of a series of general nutrition and fitness related talks at the Birkirkara FC Headquarters.

The inaugural presentation was aimed at the players who would be forming part of next season's U15 and U17 teams together with their parents.

Mr.Grasso discussed with the audience various general nutrition and fitness related facts and principles which every young individual aspiring to become a top-class footballer should keep in mind from the moment he has finished one training session till it's time for the next.

Furthermore, Matthaeus Grasso emphasised on the importance that the parents lead by example. He constantly stressed on how crucial it is that the parents educate and inform themselves on healthy nutrition principles in order to benefit themselves and their children, irrespectively if they are involved in the world of sport or not.

Amongst others, Mr.Grasso would be taking a closer look at those players who would need immediate education on healthy eating principles especially concerning their performance before/during/after training. Whenever requested, Matthaeus Grasso will also be working with the players' parents to ensure that an optimal environment is in place not just for the intellectual and physical development of the player, but also of all the family members involved.

Mr.Matthaeus Grasso can be contacted by e-mail on matthaeus@birkirkarafc.com or by phone on number 77003909.
