Essendon' Head of High Performance, Justin Crow, in conjunction with the Club's nutritionist, work hand in hand to determine the best nutrition plans for the players to get through the intensive football season.
Nutrition is a very important component of being an elite athlete and when coupled with the highest training standards, the players are able to perform at elite levels for long periods of time.
For children to be able to reach these levels and aspire to be like their football heroes, Essendon in conjunction with Yakult are providing some behind the scenes insights into healthy eating for kids during this school holiday period.
Justin will be sharing some great tips on what to provide young growing children for breakfast, some great options for healthy lunch boxes and healthy snacks for pre and post sporting activity.
