JOE caught up with Leinster’s senior performance nutritionist to talk about eating right during the pre-season
Leinster’s season is now underway, but before the big kick-off we met up with Daniel Davey, Leinster’s senior performance nutritionist to chat about preseason nutrition.
Diet will always be a key part of any exercise regime, and particular for athletes at the highest level as they endeavour to get into top shape for the season.

He gives us a few examples of healthy foods that we can add to our daily routines, what the players would get through in a day, and the importance of sports nutrition to their diets.
