Jersey Sport workshop success
True Food recently delivered an engaging and insightful “Fuelling Performance: Nutrition Essentials for Coaches” workshop in collaboration with Jersey Sport, equipping local coaches with the tools and confidence to better support their athletes’ nutritional needs.
The workshop was held at Strive
The interactive session explored the core principles of sports nutrition, helping coaches understand how fuelling and recovery strategies can make a real difference to training quality, performance, and long-term athlete development.
Participants gained practical insight into:
The fundamentals of energy balance and macronutrients for sport
Timing of meals and snacks around training and competition
Hydration and recovery strategies
How to recognise when to refer athletes to a qualified nutritionist
The session also encouraged valuable discussion among coaches from a range of sports, fostering collaboration and shared learning within Jersey’s sporting community.
Jersey Sport’s partnership with True Food continues to strengthen the support available to the island’s performance pathway, ensuring athletes have access to evidence-based guidance and that coaches feel empowered to reinforce positive habits in training environments.
We were thrilled with the level of engagement and enthusiasm throughout the workshop – thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the discussion.
True Food looks forward to delivering more workshops and educational opportunities as part of our ongoing work with Jersey Sport’s Performance Programme, helping athletes and coaches alike to train smarter, recover faster, and perform at their best.
Coaches from all sports attended including swimming, athletics, boxing, triathlon, football, cricket, and more
