We are pleased to announce the appointment of Tom Saunders as the club\u2019s new Nutritionist!<\/p>\n
Tom joins the team of staff at the Deva Community Stadium with an exceptional education record, holding a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Sports & Exercise Science and a Master\u2019s degree in Sports Nutrition, both from Liverpool John Moore\u2019s University.<\/p>\n
Whilst at university, Tom completed placements at the DP World Tour and Nutrition X, before moving into his first full-time role in the industry as the Lead Performance Nutritionist at the Robbie Fowler Education & Football Academy.<\/p>\n
Tom then made a switch to The UTS Live Well as the Manager & Lead Performance Scientist, where he founded and managed an advanced wellness facility, delivering performance nutrition and advance recovery services.<\/p>\n
On the addition of Tom, Phil Parkinson said: \u201cI\u2019d like to introduce our new part-time volunteer Nutritionist, Tom Saunders, who will be working closely with the players, performance department, and medical team throughout the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the key aims of building a high-performance environment is finding those 1% marginal gains that, when added together, can make a significant difference to individual and team performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cTom\u2019s role is to help players improve performance, recovery, consistency, and availability throughout the season. The players who maximise every aspect of their preparation are often the ones who maximise their potential.\u201d<\/p>\n
