What Should My Child Eat Before, During & After Sport?

Fuel Their Future | Webinar 2 — The Practical Game-Day Nutrition Guide

Early swimming starts. Back-to-back games. A child who refuses breakfast. A bag full of snacks that comes home untouched. Sound familiar?

Join Elissa-Rae Cooper, performance naturopath, clinical nutritionist and amateur triathlete at Compleat Vitality, for a practical parent webinar on feeding young athletes before, during and after sport. Learn how to put whole and minimally processed foods first while making evidence-informed decisions about hydration, recovery and sports nutrition products.

What you’ll learn

Simple pre-game meals and snacks for different start times

What to pack for swim meets, athletics carnivals and multi-game tournaments

When water is enough — and when carbohydrate or electrolyte drinks may have a role

How to build a whole-food recovery meal or snack

What labels reveal about gels, lollies, maltodextrin, caffeine and carbohydrate

How everyday food, rest and key nutrients support normal immune function

How to make a sports-day bag plan that your child will actually use

Our approach is food first, growth first and performance follows. We’ll also share the story behind Compleat Performance and our developing True Nectar endurance fuel, without suggesting that junior athletes routinely need gels.

Suitable for parents and carers of school-aged and adolescent athletes, as well as junior coaches. General educational content; individual needs differ by age, health, sport and training load.

Includes: live webinar (approximately 60 minutes), Q&A, downloadable Junior Sports Day Fuelling Guide and 30-day replay access.

Investment: $25 per family or $59 for the 3-part series | [5th Jan 2027; 7.30pm QLD Time] | Online | [What to Feed Kids Before, During & After Sport]
