Personal Statement

“There are many reasons that motivate me to better educate myself and others

Special dietary requirements for good health and peak performance are crucial when trying to compete against the best athletes in the world. Paul ensures maximum energy for high intense training and recovery, while also ensuring his body carries as little body fat as possible to aid performance.

in Nutrition, which I consider one of the most important areas of life. I consider good nutrition to be a very important and preventative measure of many physical and medical conditions, and therefore cannot be ignored. I believe that despite major public awareness and advertising, people still require improved education in nutrition and must have easy access to practical guidelines. Education should begin as early as possible so that good nutrition becomes a lifestyle, and I believe that programs for school children can be delivered through fun and practical learning experiences.

Throughout my twelve years as an international athlete I feel disappointed in the inadequate nutritional advice available. I have received advice from recommended sports nutritionist’s and I found this to be very general and unrelated to the individuals’ specific needs. The recommendations also lacked enough detail on which foods should be consumed or avoided and the benefits of this action. I therefore feel that there is a notable gap in this market for a competent sports nutritionist.

The whole topic of nutrition has often been an area of controversy involving various ‘fad’ methods of weight loss, and I would like to see these ‘fad’ diets become extinct and instead be replaced by healthy long term and performance enhancing nutrition.

I am a graduate of a BSc Joint Honours Degree in Sport and Business Studies. I hold the UK Athletics Coaching Awards Levels 1 and 2, and am progressing through Level 3. I am also currently studying for the UKSCA (Strength and Conditioning Award). I have a great interest in and attend lectures and conferences in the areas of Speed and Strength. Nutrition is obviously of major importance in the development of these areas and in the role of recovery, allowing an athlete to successfully and effectively handle a particular training program.”
