The original Lucozade Sport Education consisted of 4 workshops Fuel & Fluid for Sport, Get Fit for Sport, Planning for Success and the Female Athlete. Seven hundred and fifty three of these workshops have been delivered at no cost to Schools, Clubs, Local Sport Partnerships, NGB’s and others.
These modules are currently being updated and are aimed at Foundation and level 1 coaches, athletes and parents. The presentations at this level will remain generic in nature but if we are aware of the specific target group we will tailor them to ensure that examples and case studies are relevant.
The NCTC in conjunction with Lucozade Sport are currently developing 4 new modules which are aimed at level 3 coaches. The topics of the two hour workshops include:

• The 24 Hour Athlete (lifestyle)
• Strength and Conditioning
• Fuel for Athletes
• Hydration for Athletes

These modules will be available in the near future and we are hoping that your Local Sports Partnership will disseminate them through your network.
With this in mind we are currently in the process of recruiting new presenters for both the original and the new modules. If you are currently working with a presenter that you think may be suitable, please ask them to send me their Curriculum Vitae. All of our current presenters have a sports science degree, and many have additional qualifications but they all have experience dealing with athletes, teams and coaches.
