Nutrition for the S&C Coach with James Morehen (Performance Nutritionist)

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Performance Nutritionist, James Morehen. It's been a while since I had a nutritionist on the podcast and it was an absolute pleasure to get James on the podcast. This episode is titled, 'nutrition for the S&C coach' because there are still so many S&C coaches out there who are acting nutritionists. In smaller organisations, nutrition support often gets put onto the S&C coach or sports scientist so this episode dives into some key concepts that non-nutritionists need to know.

In this episode we discussed...

• Who is James Morehen (background, education and current role[s])?
• Working within academia
  • The realities of publishing
• The link between S&C and nutrition
  • The basics for S&C's covering both roles
  • Focusing on behaviour change
  • Assessing needs and monitoring progress
  • Recovery
  • Injury risk
• Body composition
  • Pre-season vs in-season
    • Fuelling for such high loads in pre-season
  • Approaching those that need body composition changes
• Demystifying recent trends
  • Veganism
  • Intermittent fasting
