«Everyone watches the ball. I look at everything that allowed that player to get there.” To understand Giusy Sansone you have to start from here: from what you can’t see, from the sacrifices far from the applause, from the work that precedes every goal. His, at the Natural Games 2026 in Spain, is the color of gold. Indeed, three golds: Figure Master, Sport Model Master and Sport Model Open. A feat that also establishes the nutritional biologist as a natural bodybuilding athlete and gives strength to a belief: performance is built, day after day.
On the international stage he brought the result of discipline and tenacity. But there is another terrain on which Dr. Sansone has chosen to play her game: that of football. A passion that has its roots in his family history. Raised in a family that has always been involved in leading football clubs, Giusy has breathed the atmosphere of the changing rooms, the rhythm of training, the tension of the day before, the joy and bitterness of the ninetieth minute since she was a child. That bond became a profession, through scientific training and studies on nutrition applied to football.
This is how “All-round Nutrition” takes shape, a method that does not simply deliver a diet, but builds a path around the person. We start from the medical history and the evaluation of body composition, to even arrive in front of the supermarket shelves: products, brands, practical choices. Because a meal plan really works when it has a place in real life.
With footballers, then, nothing can remain still. «A footballer – explains Dr. Sansone – is never the same athlete from one week to the next. And his diet cannot be.” Minutes played, role, training sessions, close matches and recovery change the needs. Sansone integrates information from GPS and devices such as WHOOP, observing workloads, sleep and recovery indicators and physiological stress, to adapt the nutritional strategy from week to week. In his work he has seen athletes regain continuity after difficult seasons, improve recovery and accompany their journey with results on the field. Without miracle formulas: performance and injuries depend on many factors, but nutrition can be one of the allies of preparation. There is also an unexpected, almost emotional trait in his method. Each protocol aimed at footballers is accompanied by a personalized image that symbolically portrays it next to the athlete. A simple message: you are not alone. Behind tables and parameters there is someone who knows the weight of expectations, difficulties and dreams. His goal is to restore the most beautiful meaning to the game: a celebration, the privilege of transforming passion into a profession. Because Sunday doesn’t start at the kick-off. It begins on the days when no one is watching, when you make choices that can change ninety minutes. Or maybe a career.
