What does elite nutrition actually look like for young athletes?
On this episode of Hometown FC, we sit down with Fran and Kate from Performance Canteen — nutritionists who work with elite youth athletes and have experience inside environments like Crystal Palace Academy.
We dive into:
- How young athletes should fuel before, during, and after training
- The biggest nutrition mistakes players and parents make
- Why under-fueling can destroy performance, recovery, and growth
- What academy players are taught about food at the highest level
- Simple habits every serious player can start using today
- How nutrition can become a real competitive edge
This episode is a must-listen for players, parents, and coaches who want to understand how the best young athletes fuel, recover, and perform consistently.
