Sport NutritionHave you ever considered the impact that nutrition can have on your sport performance? Without the right fuel, an athlete’s true potential may never be reached. Here are some of the ways that Team Alberta Sport Nutritionists are able to assist your team in enhancing sport performance through the development of healthy eating habits:
One-on-One Nutrition CoachingAre there any athletes on your team that are interested in taking the next step towards better nutrition habits but need some additional guidance? Team Alberta Sport Nutritionists can work with individual athletes to set realistic nutrition goals that are suitable for their current sport performance objectives.
Team Nutrition EducationNutrition workshops or presentations can be designed to meet each sport and team’s needs. A few examples of key topics include: fueling for daily training, travel nutrition, review of Canada Games Menu, competition planning, hydration, optimal recovery nutrition, making weight, healthy body image, and vitamins, minerals & supplements. Formats may include: interactive presentations, sport nutrition games, nutrition brainstorming sessions & team nutrition goal setting sessions.
Navigating the Menu at Canada GamesAre you interested in knowing what foods will be available to you at Canada Games? You’re in luck because the menu is now final. Let the sport nutritionists guide you through the menu options and help you pre-plan healthy choices based on your sport schedule and performance needs.

Team Nutrition AnalysisTeam Alberta Sport Nutritionists can help the coaching staff provide their athletes with a nutrition edge by giving them a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses in their team’s current nutrition habits. Coaches will receive valuable feedback that can help them develop a successful nutrition action plan for their team.
Performance Cooking WorkshopsThese fun and interactive cooking classes help bridge the gap between knowledge and making optimal nutrition happen in the daily training environment or away from home. This is a great team building session which allows for hands on experience with food preparation and an opportunity to try out new foods that can help with sport performance.
