Eating the right diet can be a challenge while maintaining a heavy training programme, full-time work, family life and a social life. A healthy diet will not only give you long-term health benefits, but it will improve performance, endurance and energy levels.

 

I provide you with a personalised eating plan and on-going coaching. Sports nutrition coaching can enable you to modify your diet and fluid intake to help in the following areas:

 

• endurance

• strength

• combating fatigue

• achieving and maintaining a healthy weight and body fat

• competition and event preparation

• enhance performance on the day

• how will this approach empower you to achieve your goals?

• acquire the skills to ensure long term success

The eating plan will meet your nutritional requirements, your sports needs whilst taking into consideration your lifestyle; attention will be given to your nutritional intake, supplement use and ergogenic aids. Everybody's needs are unique, consequently this is not a standardised approach, each plan and support programme is tailor-made to meet your requirements and sports goals (e.g. strength or endurance)

 

• Unlock your motivation
  Through personal understanding you move effectively in the direction of your goal and resist being pulled back into old behaviour patterns

• Create positive patterns of eating
  Enhance well-being, energy and vitality by eating appropriate foods that you enjoy

 

• Feel in Control
  Achieve your optimum weight and learn how to make healthy eating enjoyable so you resist those high fat or high sugar foods

 

• Understand your metabolism
  Understand your fuel requirements so that you achieve the ideal body composition for your sport.

 

• Treat Food Related Problems
  Tailor made eating plans that treat food related problems, improve well-being and take into consideration your metabolism and lifestyle. For example if you are a runner and suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome – the eating plan will be designed to improve performance and resolve the food related problem.
