No athlete can achieve their promise if they fail to manage a proper diet.
Simple, yet profound and any suggestion otherwise is nonsense for without the proper dietary support the utmost potential of an athlete will not be realised.
Further to a series of requests from the coaching community I am pleased to publish a number of my favourite recipes, each relatively simple to prepare with items readily available at local grocers. In addition I encourage all readers to either cultivate a garden that includes raspberries or if possible support local farm initiatives that include said crop.
