Fuelling the student-athlete
University athletes often train at a high level while managing lectures, exams, part-time work, shared kitchens and tight budgets. Busy timetables make it easy to under-fuel, which can affect performance, recovery, concentration and health.
Our sports dietitians and nutritionists have supported university sport programmes and scholarship athletes. We build practical plans that work around your timetable, budget and cooking facilities.
We also screen for low energy availability and RED-S, which are common in student athletes, and help you build habits that last beyond university.

HOW WE WORK WITH ATHLETES
Ongoing support, not one-off sessions
We do not work with athletes on a one-off basis. Lasting change to fuelling, recovery and performance takes time, so after your initial consultation we recommend a minimum of three follow-up consultations.
