Sports Nutritionist

You can find information on a number of individual athletes I have worked with on the testimonial pages.

I've been the 1st team nutritionist for Derby County FC since the middle of 2011. I work closely with the chef and sport scientist who then provide the day to day support as well as working on a 1-2-1 basis with the first team players.

I have been working with British Weightlifting, formerly World Class Lifting, since the middle of 2008. Initially I went in and provided a number of education sessions for athletes and coaches on proper nutrition for strength athletes. I then implemented the supplementation framework that will see them through to London 2012. Each athlete is given a specific, periodised nutrition and supplementation plan to ensure an optimal hormonal milieu for recovery and strength gain.

I am the Lead Nutritionist for the ASA England Talent program. This program encompasses all the aquatic disciplines, swimming, waterpolo, synchronised swimming and diving. I have written the materials for every stage, from the 11-13 year olds at Level 1 up to the most senior athletes at Level 3/4 as well as the education for parents of these athletes.

I consulted for Leicestershire County Cricket Club providing them with a framework for nutrition for cricket. I also implemented a culture of performance supplementation with high quality, proven supplements within the first team players.

I currently deliver coach and athlete nutrition seminars for England Athletics across a number of areas including Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Birmingham, Black Country and Gloucestershire.

I have consulted for the Institute of Swimming writing one of their coach education modules on Nutrition for Aquatic Coaches. This is a 3 hour session that coaches can attend and gain CPD credits for. The course encompasses theory, practical and case study elements. I also deliver this course at venues in the midlands.

Previously I have worked as part of the AASE program through Loughborough College which saw me working with development athletes on the England Netball program. For the last two years I have also spoken at the annual National Training Course for A/B License Netball Umpires.

I am currently working in conjunction with the English Institute of Sport to provide nutrition support to British Waterpolo in order to give them the best preparation in the run up to the 2012 games.

I worked with Burton Albion FC in the Pre-Season of the 2011/2012 season providing education sessions to the medical staff and the first team.
