A lot of unseen work goes into being an elite athlete. It’s not just the countless hours they put into training, but athletes also need to pay close attention to what food they put into their bodies.
That’s why the ‘Caps work with Sport Dietitian Emma McCrudden, who has over a decade of experience with Olympic and professional athletes. McCrudden’s role with the club is to work with the players on meeting their nutritional needs and putting together meal plans for players based on their expected workload.
“Training, talent and a winning mindset are very important attributes in high performance athletes, but good nutrition will also make a huge difference,” McCrudden said.
