    In recent decades, sports nutrition has proven to be essential for improving physical performance, optimizing training, aiding recovery, maintaining an adequate body composition, and reducing the risk of injuries and illnesses, thus contributing to the enhancement of sports performance. The objective of this study was to describe the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of coaches from various sports disciplines through a survey. The study was descriptive, with a non-probabilistic sample, and involved 60 coaches. The results revealed a low level of knowledge regarding energy-protein requirements and supplementation, as well as a high percentage of attitudes and practices that present a risk for the development of eating disorders.
