Eat to Win is a great source of knowledge for female athletes. It provides excellent insight into fuelling the female body. Having access to information like this is great, and I’ve no doubt it will help so many athletes! –Vikki Wall, All-Ireland Gaelic football champion and AFL player.
Eat to Win is an incredible resource designed specifically for females in sport. Packed with information and recipes, it has quite literally everything you need to know to perform at your best.–Róisín Upton, International hockey player and Olympian
A brilliant resource for knowing how to fuel your body during training, rest days and your menstrual cycle. I think for Laura to touch base on the menstrual cycle is pivotal for females at any level of sport. There is not enough information out there about sport and periods, so I love to see it! –Louise Quinn, International soccer player
