Nutrition Month Focus Session – Nutrition for Youth Athletes

Volleyball Canada is featuring sport nutritionist Erik Sesbreno in two, new information sessions in March 2023 – Nutrition Month! 

Erik has been a full-time sport dietitian in the Canadian Sport Institute network servicing multiple senior (Canadian) national sport programs for major international competitions for the past seven years.  He works with targeted international level athletes and coaches to develop and deliver world-class nutrition support in the daily training environment and design evidence-based nutrition plans focused on the needs of the sport and the athlete. He is currently the nutrition lead at l’Institut National du Sport du Québec in Montreal and nutrition lead for Volleyball Canada’s men’s indoor team. Recently, his doctoral research has led to exploring the risk of low energy availability/relative energy efficiency in sports in elite male indoor volleyball athletes and its consequences on health and performance outcomes.

Although the research is focused on male players, all athletes, parents, coaches and support staff would benefit from the topics covered in these hour-long sessions on March 7 and 28.  Register today!
