In today’s episode I am joined by Nina Walker, a performance nutritionist who oversees the nutrition support for British Curling. The bulk of this episode outlines the key elements of a well-fueled curler, and introduces you to the concept of a Performance Plate. Nina recommends focusing on your nutrition year-round; using  the off ice season to practise timing of meals around training, practices and games. Key resources:
