Football stars' unusual habits from Frix to pickle juice
Studies and observations in professional football indicate that some players follow strange habits to motivate themselves and improve their performance during matches. One of the most prominent practices is inhaling salts containing ammonia gas to temporarily enhance alertness and accelerate breathing. Additionally, players use "Vicks" ointment on their chest and forehead to improve breathing and focus in a legal manner. Some athletes also consume quick pickled juice during muscle cramps because of its ability to stop spasms in about 85 seconds, thanks to its neural effect, as it sends signals to the spinal cord. Moreover, football stars engage in psychological rituals and modern techniques, such as drinking mate, using hydrogel to boost concentration, and adopting habits to stimulate their mental state before major games. These practices are considered part of many players’ strategies to achieve higher performance and reduce stress, supported by treatments based on neuroscience and nutrition to maximize their benefits.
