I selected this course because, as an athlete myself, I want to understand more about nutrition and how it can affect our overall performance and wellbeing.

I want to learn how to fuel properly and effectively, learn about supplement intakes, water levels and meal periodisation. All of this knowledge will help me recover better from my injury and allow me to return to the pitch stronger than before.

Financial support would be a massive helping hand. I live in a rural country town, travelling to the AIS four-five times a week. This scholarship will not only help with fuel expenses but also cater towards textbooks, exercise books and other resources needed for this course.
