Sports Nutrition

The long tradition of school sports plays a vital role in the physical, emotional, and social development of young people from all walks of life. Whether it’s a weekend match or an interschool championship, participation in sports gives students the chance to challenge themselves and grow on every level. But just like anything else, young athletes need the right fuel to perform at their best.

A well-balanced and performance-focussed diet helps student athletes train harder, recover first, and play at peak performance. Without the appropriate nutritional support, student athletes might struggle with fatigue, concentration issues, or any number of other potential issues that might affect them both on and off the field. That’s why it’s so important for schools, residential halls, and education catering providers to understand the relationship between on-field performance and the plate.

Here at gather by Cater Care, we specialise in developing tailored school catering experiences that empower student wellbeing. Our meals and menus are designed by an expert team of in-house dietitians with an eye on supporting all areas of development, and we’re always looking for ways to improve the bedrock of nutrition we provide to our partners’ students. But if you’re just looking for a few tips on fuelling your students to achieve their fullest potential, it thankfully doesn’t need to be that complicated.
