“It’s easy to copy the diet of others, but when an athlete takes the time to understand his or her own baseline nutritional needs and how to change that to suit the demands of training and competition the results can be stunning!”

Lea often consults to gyms and personal trainers who are helping individuals who simply want to improve their overall level of fitness.

Special Note to Coaches working with young athletes

Working with young people requires a huge commitment of your time and energy. For varying reasons Sports Nutrition may not be high on your list of priorities when trying to organise your team events for a variety of reasons:

Maybe you do not have ready access to a sports Dietitian in your region and/ or you lack the time and resources to find one.
Perhaps you may not consider nutrition important enough or would prefer to cover nutrition topics yourself.

Working with children of all ages is a challenge because exercise competes with the energy that they require for physical growth and mental functioning.

Good nutrition can give your team (or athlete) the winning edge so talk to Lea for ideas on how you can improve the nutrition of individuals or the team as a whole.
