"I love what Nutrition X stands for" - Ben Earl

Welcome to the Rugby Hub, your one-stop-shop for expert-led nutrition advice, insight and strategy to help you take your game to the next level.

Game Day -1 Tips

Get the carbs in:
Choose carbohydrate-rich foods the day before a big game to boost muscle-glycogen stores and avoid fatigue affecting your performance.

Hydration is key:
Fluid loss can have a serious impact on physical and mental performance. Consume plenty of liquids throughout the day to optimise hydration levels, aiming for 35ml per KG of body mass with every meal/snack.

Monitor your protein:
Don’t increase your protein at the expense of carbohydrate intake. Keep consumption to 1.6-2g per KG body mass throughout the day.

Don’t leave it to chance:
Keeping nutrition strategy to familiar foods and meals will avoid any potential GI issues on game day.

Plan ahead:
Prepare your game day food/drink/supplement the day before to ensure you’ll have exactly what your body needs for energy and recovery, including a time schedule of what to have, when.
