It doesn’t matter how talented your child is.
They could have Messi’s vision, Mbappé’s speed, or Neymar’s skills.
❌ If their stomach is bubbling with soda, they’ll be running with legs made of lead.
🧪 Soda before a game or practice:
– bloats the stomach
– makes breathing harder
– drains energy
– kills focus
Then come the puzzled questions from the sidelines:
"What’s going on with my kid today?"
💥 Parents, here’s a little challenge for you:
Drink one or two fizzy sodas. Lace up your sneakers. Go for a 10-minute run.
Feel your stomach bounce like a soda can in a tumble dryer — and ask yourself: “Why did I do this?”
👉 Because that’s exactly how your child feels when they show up for a game or practice with a bottle of soda.
And let’s be real — they don’t deserve that.
🚫 There’s no room for bubbles before the action. Just focus, calm energy, and... water.
A great performance starts with light feet and deep breaths — not burps.
⚽ Give your child the chance to play free, fast, and full of joy — not with a storm bubbling in their belly.
