Lee McConnell –
400m hurdles
Darren is Lee’s nutritionist and has been since
she returned from the Olympics in Athens in 2004. Along with Roger
her coach, Darren implements Lee’s diet strategy to ensure she
responds effectively to her strenuous training regime set by Roger
both in and out of competition.
Darren commented ‘…Working with an athlete of Lee’s
caliber is a real test of anyone’s abilities as you’re
looking for improvements that are measured in tiny percentages. She’s
an elite performer who works incredibly hard and it’s great
to work with her and Rog to make sure she’s fuelled up correctly
so she can respond to her training and make the correct gains. As
with all the athletes I work with, it’s immensely satisfying
to see them perform and to know I played a part in that performance…’ |
