What does elite nutrition actually look like for young athletes?

On this episode of Hometown FC, we sit down with Fran and Kate from Performance Canteen — nutritionists who work with elite youth athletes and have experience inside environments like Crystal Palace Academy.

We dive into:

  •  How young athletes should fuel before, during, and after training 
  •  The biggest nutrition mistakes players and parents make 
  •  Why under-fueling can destroy performance, recovery, and growth 
  •  What academy players are taught about food at the highest level 
  •  Simple habits every serious player can start using today 
  •  How nutrition can become a real competitive edge 

This episode is a must-listen for players, parents, and coaches who want to understand how the best young athletes fuel, recover, and perform consistently.
