Performance Fuelling for Competition
This presentation helps surf lifesaving athletes and parents plan their fuelling for single-day carnivals and multi-day competitions. We’ll cover what to eat in the days leading up to an event, how to fuel on race morning, and what to eat and drink between races to maintain energy, hydration and mental clarity.
We’ll also look at how nerves can affect appetite and digestion, with practical options for eating when food feels hard to manage. Athletes will learn how to recover after a full day of racing and prepare to back up the next day. They’ll also taste-test gels and high-carb sports drinks, giving them options to practise in training and include in their competition plan.
