Question about explosive movements/sports in relation to ketosis

Troubleshooting

I know this question might fall out of the usual range, but please indulge me here: I'm currently on a carnivore diet (controversial, I know), does this inhibit my maximum output for explosive power?

Do I really need carbs or are ketones enough?

Trying to play football (read: soccer) professionally and I wonder if said aversion to carbs hinders my maximum output in relation to speed and the like.

Is there any way to stay mostly in ketosis while also using carbs or should I switch to a mostly carb focused diet?

I'm just a little cautious due to glycation related inflammation and the resulting injury risk.
