Your players are training hard. But without the right fuel, they're leaving performance on the pitch.
Β
As a coach or club, you see it every week.
Β
Players who fade in the second half. Athletes who show up flat to training. Kids who eat nothing before a game or the wrong thing at the wrong time. Parents pulling you aside asking what their child should be eating β and expecting you to have the answer.
Nutrition is one of the most overlooked performance levers in youth football. And most clubs have no structured way to address it.
That's where I come in.

What a session actually changes
Β
When players and parents get clear, football-specific nutrition education:
- Players show up to training fuelled properly β not flat and running on empty
- Recovery between sessions improves, meaning more consistent output week to week
- Parents stop guessing and start making decisions with confidence
- Coaches spend less time fielding nutrition questions they weren't trained to answer
- Your club becomes known for developing athletes properly β not just tactically
Two ways to deliver it
Β
Online Webinar
20 minutes. One topic. Built for how players actually engage.
- A single focused topic per session β matchday fuelling, recovery, hydration
- A game in the middle to keep it interactive, not a lecture
- Live Q&A at the end β players fire questions through chat
- No travel, no venue booking, easy to schedule around training
- Works especially well with younger and shyer players who engage more through chat
- Β
In-Person Workshop
On-site at your club, for players, parents, or both.
- Live presentation with real examples players can apply immediately
- Best for pre-season, tournament prep or parent info nights
- Includes Q&A and optional take-home resources
Both formats: age-appropriate, evidence-based, zero extreme-diet content.
Who it's for
These sessions are built for:
- Football and AFL clubs supporting youth development
- Academies working with players on performance pathways
- Semi-professional or high-performance squads
- Clubs wanting to support parents alongside players
- Coaches who want structured nutrition education without becoming nutritionists
Sessions can be tailored for players, parents, or combined audiences.

Built by a sports nutritionist. Designed for football.
Β
I'm Craig Evans, a globally accredited sports nutritionist and founder of The Football Nutritionist.
I've delivered nutrition education to clubs across Australia and internationally, from grassroots youth clubs through to academy and semi-professional environments. I work with youth and international footballers to make fuelling simpler, clearer and more practical around real football schedules.
I'm also a dad β so I know that advice only works if it actually fits into real club and family life.
No extreme diets. No complicated science. Just practical football nutrition that coaches and parents can actually use.
What coaches, players & parents say
"I struggled with eating before games and getting bloated. I'll definitely be trying Craig's tips on what to eat before games."
- Isabella
βCraig was excellent"
- Andrew Jarman (Ex Adelaide Crows)
"I found your talk super motivating. I've never paid much attention to my eating habits before a game β now I want to fuel myself properly."
- Tara
How it works
- A quick call to understand your club's players, age groups and what you're trying to solve
- I recommend the right format β webinar, in-person, or a mix β and we lock in dates
- Your players and parents get a session that actually changes how they fuel
No long-term commitment unless you want ongoing support.
