Nutrition
It is important to note that coaches are not qualified to give nutritional advice to athletes, and an accredited sports dietician should be consulted for any individual requirements. Individual requirements will be determined by training load, specific training and body composition goals, nutritional deficiencies, availability and preference (1).
