Pacey Performance Podcast #92 - Jess Spendlove (Athletic Sports Dietitian at GWS Giants & Cronulla Sharks)

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast I am speaking with Athletic Performance Dietitian at the GWS Giants and Cronulla Sharks, Jess Spendlove. In this episode we get really practical with nutrition and how Jess creates processes for the athletes she works with. It was great to get Jess on as the first to primarily discuss nutrition as I think its often an aspect which gets left to the S&C coach/sports scientist, especially in smaller organisations. Hope you enjoy the episode. In this episode you will learn -  Who is Jess Spendlove (education, background and current role)?
