If you develop a good understanding of sports nutrition and put a plan into action, you’ll have more fun fencing because you’ll likely see improved performance in training and competitions. That will help separate you from your competition.

No matter your goals, nutrition can help you get there. Sports nutrition not only refers to the foods and fluids you eat and drink before, during, and after training sessions, but also the additional nutrition you need day to day to support your weekly training. The foods you choose to eat every day play a much larger role in your performance as an athlete, and more importantly, your overall health. You cannot be the best athlete you can be if you are constantly sick or injured. A solid understanding of nutrition overall is what supports healthy growth and development and your immune system, and enables you to get the most out of your training.

Even making small changes to your nutrition can make a huge difference in performance! With proper sports nutrition, you will have more energy, power, strength, and speed.
