In partnership with Science in Sport, we present 'Winning With Nutrition', which explores how athletes, coaches, practitioners and academics are thinking about using performance nutrition to gain a competitive edge.
The Olympic motto: Citius, Altius, Fortius – Communiter – Faster, Higher, Stronger – Together – resonates with all who work in high performance. ‘Together’ was added prior to the Tokyo Games and, in the aftermath of the Olympics and Paralympics, it is pertinent for those of us involved at the coalface of elite sport to extend our reflections on what ‘together’ really means for our own daily practice.
Indeed, with the attainment of each medal or new world record, not only do we recognise the athlete’s remarkable achievements and years of sacrifice, but also the tireless and forensic work of the support team who have contributed to that specific moment of peak performance.
In chapter one, Science in Sport’s Director of Performance Solutions, James Morton, makes the case for placing nutrition at the heart of multidisciplinary performance support models.
In chapter two, we turn to the performance director’s perspective, as told by Sir Dave Brailsford, a performance leader who has long appreciated the role of nutrition in both Olympic and professional sport.
In chapter three, we bring together practitioners at NBA champions the Milwaukee Bucks, NFL’s Dallas Cowboys, and English Premier league club Aston Villa to deliver their considerations when implementing a performance nutrition strategy.
In chapter four, Science in Sport’s James Morton collates a selection of athlete perspectives on how and where nutrition has impacted their performance.
Finally, in chapter five, we detail the scientist’s perspective, where Professor Louise Burke, one of the world’s leading practising sport dietitians, discusses her journey of 40 years of evidence-based practice.
