Nutrition and Psychology
Performance nutrition
Thanks to our new facilities at the Lee Westwood Sports Centre, Clifton campus, our athletes benefit from practical nutrition sessions in an athlete kitchen. Workshops provide athlete scholars with the chance to test their cooking skills, creating nutritional training and competition meals designed specially for their performance needs.
In addition to practical cooking sessions, educational workshops and one-to-one support is available through the scholarship programme. Specifically workshops cover:
- hydration and sweat testing
- making your own sports drinks, and eating for competition
- training, and
- recovery.
Psychology support
Optimising your performance requires dedicated training of the body and mind. Through NTU, elite sport athletes can access one-to-one psychology support as well as educational seminars and workshops. For more information please speak to your athlete lifestyle advisor.
