Nutrition services for tennis players and young athletes

The Challenge

As children and adolescents become more active and competitive, their training hours increase, often alongside school, social commitments, and busy family routines.

​

While sport brings huge benefits for wellbeing, confidence, and social growth, many young tennis players and athletes struggle to fuel and recover properly for the demands of their schedule.

​

Even at junior level, training can exceed 10 hours a week. Combined with the body’s growth and development needs, nutrition becomes a key factor in performance, recovery, and injury prevention, yet it is often overlooked.

From a Parent’s Perspective

Parents want to support their children but often feel unsure whether they are eating enough, recovering well, or fuelling correctly for sport. Online advice can be confusing, and every child’s needs are different.

​

It can feel like a guessing game, balancing meals, snacks, and training demands while trying to keep things healthy and enjoyable.

​Through our tailored programmes, we help young tennis players and athletes:

  • Understand what to eat, when, and why it matters

  • Take responsibility for planning and preparing balanced meals

  • Recover effectively and sustain energy throughout training and competition

  • Develop a positive, confident relationship with food that lasts into adulthood
     

By supporting both the athlete and their parents, we create clarity, consistency, and lasting change, setting every young person up for health, confidence, and performance, both now and in the future.​

Building Lasting Habits, Together

Real progress does not come from one-off advice; it comes from connection.

​

By building trusted relationships with young athletes and their parents, we create clarity, accountability, and long-term change.

​

Each package includes follow-up support to help turn practical guidance into everyday habits that fuel growth, confidence, and performance, on and off the pitch.

Father of an ITF male tennis player:

​

"Working with Julie has been brilliant. We went from thinking extra nutrition meant an extra bowl of pasta and a protein bar to truly understanding what, why and how much our son needs to fuel training and competition. Her experiences with junior athletes and first-hand sporting background make her guidance invaluable."
