Giorgio Tassone: Inside Serie A Youth Nutrition 🇮🇹⚽
What does elite player nutrition really look like inside a Serie A academy — and where are most parents getting it wrong?
Today’s guest is Giorgio Tassone, the Performance Nutritionist for Como 1907’s Youth Academy in Italy. Giorgio works daily with some of the country’s top emerging footballers, shaping how they fuel for training, recovery, and long-term development.
In this episode, we dive deep into what it actually takes to fuel youth players for growth and performance — not just game day.
You’ll learn:
🍝 The biggest nutrition mistakes parents make with young players
⚽ What Italian academies like Como focus on when developing elite youth athletes
🥗 How to build real fuelling habits — not restrictive diets
🏋️♂️ Why energy availability matters more than protein powder
🇮🇹 What Giorgio has learned from working inside the Serie A system
💡 His best practical advice for parents, coaches, and players who want to get this right
This chat gives a rare behind-the-scenes look at youth performance nutrition in one of football’s most competitive environments — and how small changes can make a massive difference in a player’s future.
🎧 If you enjoy the episode, share it with a parent, coach, or teammate who’s serious about developing the next generation of footballers.
Remember to fuel for success and keep kicking those goals!
