Year 7 and 8 explore Sports Nutrition

With a workshop delivered by the resident nutritionist from Thomas Frank – our catering company.

A group of Year 7 and 8 boys enjoyed a follow up workshop putting into practice the theory that they learnt earlier in the year in relation to sports nutrition and what the best fuel for athletic bodies is at different points in a week. After talking about the different proportions of each food type to eat on rest days, training days and match days, the boys turned their hand to making some chocolate date energy balls and hydration drinks. Whilst this isn’t the type of food the boys are used to eating, they all enjoyed something different and were pleasantly surprised by how tasty something with so much goodness in can taste!
