In this case I have been brought into Rouen Normandie Rugby as a consultant to solve sports nutrition issues and educate the players in order to enhance performance and recovery. By no means am I the best at this sort of thing and this pod is certainly not a stroke for the ego. More of a snapshot into how a nutritionist fits into a professional sports team. Some teams have nutritionist in 3-4 days a week however at this stage I will most probably spend 3 x 2 day stints out in Rouen over the 2018-2019 season. The podcast illustrates how important relationships are and if you are studying nutrition or want a career in sports nutrition and you are listen to this you will understand that it is imperative to be a good communicator and have excellent interpersonal skills. Reach out via mattgardnernutrition@gmail.com if you listen to this and would like me to come and work as a consultant for your sports team / company / youself individually. As always please like / subsribe / share the pod. Have a heal

Something a little different this time. My friends Harry Norman and Krys Szota and I crack a little conversation the night before we ran together in the South Downs. Harry has a background in something called Anatomy in Motion and recently has become interested in Chinese Medicine. He currently works in Marylebone in the Thirdspace gym and you can find him @hazr_kogma. He is a very good movement coach and one hell of a home cook. Krys has a background in swim coaching and is far harder to find on social media, I assume you can search him on facebook. His researching skills certainly benefited our chat. Together a few years ago we yomped a decent marthaon distance down in Dartmore and it was good to catch up with them both. Anyway this episode was very enjoyable to record and I want to do more. We had nothing organised or rehearsed, I pressed record during a conversation we were already deep into after dinner. As always subscribe and share the pod on soundcloud and I tunes.

Tamara is a friend and a mentor of mine. She is a professional alpinist and in a time where so many people label themselves as an 'athlete' on social media she certainly fits that title. Tamara cuts through all of the dros and works incredibly hard in the outdoors chasing her dreams everyday. Previously she has been a client of mine when we worked together for one of her expeditions a couple of years ago nutritional and that is how we met originally. We caught up and covered he expedition to Siberia, her next challenge ski touring 200Km with 85,000 vertical metres of climbing. Super inspiring stuff you must listen to this awesome lady as she pulls apart what it is really like travelling, training and exploring the outdoors as a job. I was very lucky to capture some time with her. The book she mentioned was The Art of Fear by Kristen Ulmer.
