Maccabi Tel Aviv Captain Dor Peretz Lives an Unconventional, Disciplined Lifestyle

Dor Peretz, the captain of Maccabi Tel Aviv football club, maintains a highly disciplined and unique daily routine that sets him apart from other professional footballers. According to Maor Kandil, a former teammate who shared a podcast episode on "Olim Laregel," Peretz avoids social media entirely, does not watch television, and follows a strict diet. Kandil described how Peretz’s breakfast salad includes pomegranates, beets, raisins, and seeds, and he carries bottles of beet and pomegranate juice with him.

Peretz’s lifestyle is marked by intense focus and dedication, both in his career and personal life, with no distractions. Kandil recounted an incident where Peretz did not know the results of a major football match because he does not follow games on TV or social media. Additionally, Peretz abstains from snacks and drinks only water during Torah study sessions, a habit that has lasted for three years. This extreme discipline and commitment to a healthy lifestyle reflect his "all-in" approach to football and family.

The podcast episode sheds light on a side of Dor Peretz rarely seen by fans and the public, emphasizing his hard work and unique habits that contribute to his success on and off the field. The episode is available on Spotify and Apple platforms under the "Olim Laregel" podcast series.
