The second session was this week with U15 and U16 players learning the dos and don’ts of fuelling effectively for rugby. The boys learnt about the best foods to eat before matches and training, and how to support their bodies through nutrition after a match. They also learnt about the importance of staying hydrated and the best way to do that.
Key take away were:
- Drink more water
- check the colour of your urine!
- Steer clear of the caffeinated energy drinks

The boys were excellent ambassadors for the club- asking some great questions and sharing what works for them.

Useful takeaways preparing for a match:
Before - carbohydrates are you friend
During - jelly beans are great for an energy boost
After - Chocolate milk is a great recovery drink!

Thank you so much to Katie for her excellent sessions and honest and practical answers to the many questions.
