This week, Jasmine Campbell, the club's Performance Nutritionist, delivered a workshop to our whole academy around nutrition and performance.
The aim was to provide guidance around accessible and effective ways to fuel the bodies of the young players.
The content included useful information and tips on foods for recovery and growth for parents with players in all age groups of the Academy.
Head of Academy Player Care Eddie Odhiambo told us
"We delivered two sessions on the same night so that it was age group specific. That increased the relevance and importance at the players stage of development.
"It was for our parents, as we appreciate the challenge of finding the time and knowledge to help the players with awareness of the importance of a nutritious diet.
"Interaction from parents was very good on the night and hopefully they have gone away with ideas to be more resourceful and confident with meal prep.
