While working with Hillpark Boxing Club I worked with boxers who ranged from age 11 to 18. I looked into their diets and helped to identify any issues that could be limiting their performances in the ring. With the ages ranging from a young age it was important that they understand the importance of a healthy diet and the effects it has on the different aspects of training and competition to allow them to develop as they get older.

They were each given personalised guidelines to help them to take their performances to the next level. This included:-

• Calorie requirements for training and competition
• Carbohydrate and Protein requirements
• Recovery and preparation
• Hydration strategies
