Hello, I’m Esme and I am very passionate about the importance of nutrition to fuel sporting performance. I completed my undergraduate degree in Biomedical Science at The University of Southampton and during my studies I picked as many nutrition-based modules as I possibly could. After completing my Bachelor’s degree, I realised I had a real hunger (please pardon the pun) to learn more about nutrition, particularly with regards to supporting exercise performance. I am now studying a Master’s degree in Sport and Exercise Nutrition at Loughborough. It is my aspiration to utilise the knowledge I have learnt during my studies to provide reliable, accurate and evidence-based nutrition support.
I absolutely adore hockey, having played the sport myself since the age of 10. This means I have a great understanding of the energy requirements involved in both training and matches and will be able to consider these when thinking about nutritional requirements. It also means that I have insider experience of the goings-on in a hockey club and I know all the tricks in the book when it comes to trying to sneak that extra slice of cake at post-match teas!
