1. Diet 

As an athlete or football player, the diet you take should be one of the things you have to take into serious consideration. You actually need to watch what you eat to ensure that you don't store up unnecessary fat in your body.

Ensure the food you eat at night is well digested before going to sleep. For proper confirmation that the food is digested or to make sure the food is digested go for a stroll or a short walk after meal.

Diet is one of the ways footballers manage not to get tired while playing. Football players do not overeat when they have matches to play instead they spend time training and stretching their joints and muscles minutes to the match.

Practices like that would help digest any pending undigested food in them. And once the food is digested there is no room for tiredness. There body are always active and sharp. Footballers consume more energy giving foods than any other food. 

And that have best helped them in nature of their job as they need more energy production and that is the function of the energy giving foods they eat. 

Consumption of good fats and light food that gives steady stream of energy like pasta, brown bread are also part of what footballers do in order to be fit for the match ahead.

2. Training and practicing

As they say practice makes perfect, this is also the case when footballers spend more time training and practicing. One of the major factor that gives football players the ability to manage their games without getting tired is training and practicing.

Football players have training sessions so as to boost their ability and learn how to attain their potentials. All soccer clubs have their players go through training sessions. And these training sessions helps their players to become better footballers.

When you don't know how to do something if you create time and dedicate the time having training and learning that which you don't know how to do — you'll end up becoming a professional in it.

For example a player who gets tired easily will have to go through several practices and training to understand and learn how to conserve energy while playing in other not to get tired. An example of these practices are breathing practices, mouth breathing practices etc

The way a player breath can determine how easily he gets tired. Breathing practices are necessary in order to understand how the body takes in oxygen. The oxygen we breath in is converted to energy by the body. Players get tired due to deficiency of oxygen.

To fix the weakness and tiredness caused by the deficiency of oxygen players are advised to stop playing harder than they breath. The capability of your body to be able to endure and make use of the oxygen you breath can help reduce the rate of getting tired.

Mouth breathing helps a lot when it comes to taking-in large amount of oxygen than the nose breathing.

Training does help to build a strong core body and proper techniques. With training a player can learn how to perfect their game. Training also contribute to the fitness of a player and once the muscles are kept fit, they won't feel their muscles getting sore and tired faster.

3. Muscle building

This should be towards the end of the list but I have to consider it here as third on the list. Muscle building is one of the activities footballers do to increase their power and effectiveness in the game.

Though it doesn't really matter and it is not really a major factor even a young player who has just little muscle can play football and not get tired.

Nevertheless, the muscle you see in football players are not just for bragging or show up. The muscles is one of the key to not getting tired while playing football. This is how it works for them.

When you build up muscles, you tend to have more capacity to do work and more space to store energy. It is true that energy is consumed when you play football, but since you have enough power in you, you won't get exhausted for a whole period of the time during a match. 

Building of muscles will prepare your body to understand how to adapt to stress and overcome tiredness this is why you see players spend some time in the gym building muscles.

4. Warm up

Warm up is a very important practice that every football player needs to do before any match. This is to awaken the player's muscles and help  him build up stamina which would provide him a better start into the game.

Infact the warm-up crucial aspect in training that is why it was taken a whole factor. The warm-up session before a game has a lot of benefits to players one of which is how it helps them not to get tired. 

A 10-minute warm-up with just stretching of arms/legs and just passing of ball can awaken a players body and turn on their mood for the game.

A right and proper mood of the game does not make the game boring to the point of making the player get tired but it rather increase the player's strength and zeal to continue the match.

5. Experience

As we all know not all football players have what we call "experience". But how does this experience helps a player not get tired. There is a positive saying that "Work smart not hard".

If you look at players like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, these two players are two of the players who have gotten much experience in football game. And here's how they apply it. If you notice the two players they do not make much runs in games yet they perform more excellently than those that make runs.

The experience they have in the game have taught them how to play the game smartly without them losing much energy. And this scope sustains them throughout the game all they just have to do is to apply the experience they've gathered. 

They look at what is best to do to keep the ball or to win the ball back for their team and they just play it smart and not running all over the pitch like a headless chicken. It is always cool to also work smart whenever you are working hard. This two together (smartness and hard work) gives result.
