Francesca Scott – U17s Welsh Ladies Football & High Performance Hurdler

"Our nutritionist is a delight and pitches the tone just right for a teenage girl to appreciate; she is light hearted, incredibly knowledgeable and draws Francesca into the whole process by helping her understand the needs of her body"

Nutrition for young athletes

Francesca showed potential as a young athlete and footballer, but after a long recovery period following glandular fever she still seemed continually short of energy. This affected her performance, body shape and confidence so we decided to look outside the simple mechanics of her training schedule. 

Talking about diet and nutrition with teenage girls is an extremely sensitive subject and we were naturally guarded when making our initial approach to Mac-Nutrition.  We needn’t have worried… from the word go we were impressed with Sarah who is an absolutely fantastic performance nutritionist. She is a delight and pitches the tone just right for a teenage girl to appreciate; she is light hearted, incredibly knowledgeable and draws Francesca into the whole process by helping her understand the needs of her body. We have all learned a lot and Sarah gives us great confidence in the overall programme.

Furthermore, the proof has been in the pudding (no pun intended). Following a relatively short period Francesca competed at the English School Track and Field and managed to take 0.3 sec off her personal best. Her performance has gone from strength to strength, literally, and her self confidence has returned. We now have a professional approach to preparation and recovery because we have a greater understanding of her nutritional requirements.

We are extremely grateful to Sarah and we recommend Mac-Nutrition without hesitation.
