Sports Dietitian

A Sports Dietitian provides specialised nutritional advice to athletes and active individuals to enhance performance and recovery. You might work in sports clubs, fitness centres, or with individual athletes. Sports Dietitians focus on developing tailored nutrition plans, advising on hydration and supplements, and monitoring dietary intake. You’ll work closely with coaches and healthcare professionals to optimise athletes' performance and overall health.

Sports Dietitians play a key role in supporting athletic success. You’ll need to have a deep understanding of sports nutrition, strong communication skills, and the ability to adapt advice to different sports and individual needs. You’ll collaborate with athletes and teams to ensure they receive the best nutritional support for peak performance.
