Welcome to SEED, Ruby Tripodi!
On Monday the 17th of August, the SEED Squad were lucky enough to welcome AFLW dual-premiership player and Game Day Nutrition expert Ruby Tripodi for an engaging and informative nutrition seminar.
Ruby shared her knowledge and experience with our students, helping them understand the important role that food and nutrition play in supporting performance, recovery and overall wellbeing. Drawing on her experience as an elite athlete, Ruby provided practical advice about making healthier food choices, staying hydrated and giving the body the fuel it needs before, during and after sport.
Students had the opportunity to learn more about how the foods they eat can impact their energy levels, concentration, recovery and performance on the field. Ruby also encouraged students to think about creating healthy eating habits that are realistic and sustainable, rather than focusing on strict diets or quick fixes.
The session gave our SEED Squad valuable insights into the connection between nutrition and sporting performance, while providing them with practical strategies they can use in their everyday lives and as they continue to develop as young athletes.
A huge thank you to Ruby and Game Day Nutrition for sharing their expertise and helping our students learn how to better fuel their bodies for sport and beyond!
