Performance Nutrition for Rugby
Fuel for Rugby
Performance nutrition built for the demands of the game — powering you through 80 minutes and beyond.
The Marginal Gain
The gain most players never train
You put in the hours on the pitch, in the gym, in the video room. But nutrition is the marginal gain rugby players overlook — the difference between fading in the final quarter and finishing stronger than you started.
Fuel right and everything else works harder for you: better recovery, sharper training, a body composition that suits your position. Get it wrong and even the best programme leaves gains on the table.
What I Do
Fuelling every phase of your game
Match Day Fuelling
Dial in what you eat and drink before, during and after kick-off so you arrive primed and finish the full 80.
Pre-Season Nutrition
Build the base that carries you through a long campaign — capacity, resilience and the physical shape to match.
Recovery & Repair
Turn hard sessions into gains with a recovery strategy that repairs muscle and gets you ready to go again.
Body Composition
Add size, cut fat or find the balance your position demands — without wrecking your performance to get there.
Hydration Strategy
Stay sharp late in the game with a hydration and electrolyte plan built for training loads and match intensity.
Supplement Guidance
Cut through the noise. Evidence-based advice on what’s worth taking, what isn’t, and what’s safe to use.
Who Is This For?
Every player, every position
Forwards carrying into contact, backs chasing space, amateurs juggling training around work, semi-pros chasing the next level — the demands differ, the need for smart fuelling doesn’t. Explore the wider principles and examples in the Team Support hub.
- Forwards — power, size and repeated collisions
- Backs — speed, agility and endurance
- Amateur — real-life schedules, real results
- Semi-pro — the edge to compete higher
In Their Words
“As an athlete, I’m always trying to gain an edge and take my game to the next level.”
“My nutrition was always something I knew I could improve on, and since working with James, he has given me more knowledge and understanding of nutrition and how it relates to performance, and also given me the guidance and structure to put it into practice. I would highly recommend him to any athlete looking to improve their performance and well-being.”
