Vitality Rose Funmi Fadoju is known for iconic interceptions and powerful elevation in the defensive end of the court, but getting the right calories to fuel her body has been a journey.
“Since joining the England programme, I realised my training load increased a lot compared to what I was used to!”
This was a realisation for Funmi that she was expending more calories than she was intaking, which can impact performance.
Education around what to eat, how much to eat, and when, is a game changer for active women to ensure they are taking care of their bodies properly.
Funmi shares that with the help of nutritionists, she now has a food plan to match her training and rest schedules and support her energy levels efficiently.
