Ever wondered what to eat before an event or better yet, what not to eat? Come along to the Sports nutrition workshop to gain valuable information on sport nutrition and hydration. Who knows, one little tip might help you gain the edge over your competitors.

Get the answers you have been after!

Guest Speaker: Sally Anderson

Qualifications – Bachelor of Applied Science – Human Movement Studies – Exercise Science (Hons) Master of Nutrition & Dietetics (Hons) – Level 2 Anthropometrist

Sally’s interest in sports nutrition began when she was competing nationally as a lightweight rower.  The light rowing was soon replaced with a love of triathlons though (due to the cross training for rowing) and this has been her favoured sport ever since. She now competes in Olympic distance triathlons and occasionally will throw in a half ironman for good measure!  Recently Sally relocated back to Brisbane to pursue more sports nutrition opportunities, where she is now the QAS Network Nutritionist.
