Hey Mark,

I would contact the BANT – and the Nutrition therapy council – it depends a bit on whether you want to just be a sports nutritionist or if you want to be a clinical nutritionist dealing with other health issues and joe public.

You’ll need professional insurance which ever way you go – you can get this as a PT or S & C guy and get nutrition as part of your cover – or you can train up clinically – but it’ll be alot more studying.

The bodies above have lists of approved courses, i’d stick to one of them if I were you.

Also there’s a olympic certification in sports nutrition which is remote and very good

Good luck mate.

Hi Matt
 


My name is Ben Aston; I am a trainee journalist currently studying at Bournemouth University.
 
For my final year I have to write a series of feature pieces on topics in the public interest.


I am writing one feature in the style of FHM, it looks into the relationship that men have with food and how this compares to a woman's relationship with food. 


It will be a light hearted piece with an aim to entertain the reader but also to inform them on male food habits and how to act on these in order to maintain a healthy diet and physique.


As a sports nutritionist to professional footballers I feel your input in the piece would be invaluable.
Would you be up for a quick telephone/email interview on this topic?


I am not looking to publish the feature, it is purely for educational purposes.


Thank you so much for reading this email and I look forward to hearing from you soon.


Kind Regards, 


Ben Aston

Hello Matt,

help matt??

Hi Matt

I am employed as a sport scientist/ nutritionist at a football academy in the north west. We have a major problem in trying to boost our lads immune system through trying to offer them as much fruit and vegetables at meal times to boost their RDA’s. The players themselves will not touch their fruit and vegetables and after I spoke to a friend of mine who works at another football club, he suggested that football players should have 6-9 portions of fruit and veg per day? In what ways can I boost our players to increase their intake of fruit and veg, to enable them to boost their immune system along with other aspects of their health?

I’d like to appreciate the endeavours you’ve made in writing this article. This has been an inspiration in my opinion. I’ve transferred this through to a friend. thankyou

Hi Matt,

I’ve read some of the comments and help you have given here and it’s very encouraging, so I thought I’d ask for some advice too!
I’ve just completed a BSc in Nutrition, Exercise and Heath and have already begun my PGc in Sports and Exercise nutrition at Coventry university. I am reps level 3 qualified as a personal trainer, level 2 gym and studio instructor, and frankly I don’t know where to go next! I currently work as a personal trainer, but I am looking to put my sports nutrition experience into practise as well as my exercise coaching and knowledge. I have been at a sports and nutrition conference this week at Surrey sports park, which, by the way is a credit to the sporting industry and others have suggested finding an specific area to go into, but I just can’t pin point what I’d like to do with all these qualifications. Are you able to offer any advice or help on this?
I would be very interested in doing some voluntary work with you if you needed some help and/ or had the time.

Thanking you in advance

Nathan

Lewis – did you get sorted on the download, sorry I only just saw that.

Matt

for sure – what’s your sport – is it football?

you might do well on the regenerate system – if you need more lean power or the fat loss system if you are carrying too much deadweight.

depends. It can be applied to any position in football you just need to alter your intake and supplements to suit your position and km covered in matches.

if oyu need to lose some fat then the http://www.fourweekfatloss.com system would work but you’ll need to keep more carbs in around your training sessions – double what this guide recommends – if you are already lean then more exploisive power will help so a more regenerative system like the regenerate – will help you in this regard.
