'What affects my tennis and training the most?' Today's guest Mylène Petitpas posed this question and explained the answer is nutrition because food affects every part of our body from head to toe! As a tennis parent, I find what foods to give the children before, during and after tennis tournaments puzzling. I try my best when it comes to providing decent nutrition options - but if truth be told I haven't found much information out there to help. So I've tried to go and find some answers! Mylène is passionate about the area of tennis nutrition and I hope you'll enjoy our conversation - as you'll hear I learnt a lot and get the feeling the food offerings are going to more nutritious and if truth be told a whole lot tastier too... In this episode on tennis nutrition we cover: What to eat before a tennis tournament (I wasn’t getting this quite right!) What to eat during a tennis tournament (I’m a changing my ways!) What NOT to eat during a tournament (you might be surprised at this!) Should you be using energy gels or electrolytes? (I’ve noticed them at tournaments!) What to eat after a tennis tournament (are our trips to the Golden Arches advisable?!) Mylène has very kindly put together a tennis nutrition ebook that talks you through her thinking - do take a look here: https://www.serveandvolley.net/blog/tennis-nutrition-ebook-fuel-your-tennis And you’ll find Mylène’s Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/mylenepetitpas/ MUSIC CREDITS Earth by MusicbyAden https://soundcloud.com/musicbyaden Creative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0
