Nutrition is managed as part of each players fitness programme.
Nutrition is the process by which chemicals from the environment are taken in by the body to provide the energy and nutrients needed to keep you alive and healthy:
Good nutrition helps to:
- Achieve high performance
- Recover more efficiently
- Have better health
It is important to understand and practice the basics of good nutrition. At The Appeti Academy we understand that for juniors with a busy training schedule and, often, academic and social commitments it is hard to find time to work on your nutritional skills.
Therefore, we offer good, common sense practical advice on nutrition and eating. Diet planning will be available on all aspects of a player’s needs. including pre-competition, during competition, snacks, post match training, eating away from home. Each player will be provided with a food diary, initially to analyse the diet and then to keep a record of eating habits.
To help players manage their diet The Appeti Academy will:
- provide a basic nutrient check list for participants
- give examples of balanced meals
- provide a food diary
- advise in meal planning
- discussing diets with participants
- make recommendations when more informed advice is needed (a nutritionist, courses, books)
