Sports Clubs
An often overlooked element in the battle for energy, stamina and performance in sport is good nutrition. An athlete can prepare themselves with hours of practice and competition but when it comes down to competing and performing at the next level, good nutrition can often make the difference between success or failure.
Knowing how to fuel the body is the competitive edge that sets players apart from the rest.

Golf Nutrition Workshop - Nutrition for Optimum Energy and Performance
Alva’s Nutrition For Performance workshop was brilliant. We got great ideas for simple healthy meals from breakfast through to dinner.
Alva then gave us pre match/game meal ideas to fuel optimally when playing 18 holes of golf and what snacks we should be eating while on the course. The ladies in Delgany GC were delighted with the workshop and being able to fully participate and ask Alva questions during the session.
We looking forward to having Alva back to the club soon and couldn’t recommend her highly enough"

"As part of our High Performance Coaching programme, I engaged Alva to present at one of our seminars for Leinster panelists.
Her knowledge of Nutrition and her delivery to a mixed aged audience was superb. She interacted with the panelists really well and gave everyone a great understanding of the importance of fueling their bodies for maximum performance and explained how the right nutrition can impact positively on different aspects of High Performance training.
I would highly recommend Alva for anyone that wants to be on top of their game"
