Good nutrition is essential to perform at your best. It can help delay fatigue, improve skill and concentration, and prevent injury and illness. A good diet will not turn an average athlete into a superstar, but a poor diet will prevent you from achieving your potential.
Nutritional needs and dietary preferences differ greatly from person to person. This booklet gives general advice to help you achieve a well balanced diet to fuel your sport. If you need more information on nutrition and athletic performance, or if you wonder whether your eating habits help or hinder your training programme, talk to a qualified, accredited sports dietitian. He/she can evaluate your diet, determine your individual nutritional needs and advice on foods for optimizing your sporting performance.
