EAT. THRIVE. PERFORM. Introducing the fabulous Sara Richardson - an elite sports dietician here in New Zealand.
Save the date - Columba College is extremely excited to have NZ registered Dietician, Sara Richardson host us for an Athlete Nutrition Seminar on Thursday 10th August here in our Constance Hall. All students and parents are welcome to attend.
A bit about Sara:
She is based in Dunedin, New Zealand, and is a passionate advocate for nurturing athletic talent from small locations and providing developing athletes with the right nutrition stepping stones to elite pathways.
Sara is a New Zealand Registered Dietitian and Sports Dietitian and has completed her Master's degree investigating the effectiveness of recovery drinks on recovery and immune function in development rowers.
In her spare time, she is a busy Mum to three equally busy children, so she understands the chaos of life and tries to be efficient in a time-challenged environment.
Before children, she was a competitive rower, multi-sporter, adventure racer, and then mountain biker and road cyclist but these days she is that Mum at the side-line, encouraging, feeding, and trying to coach her own growing athletes to be the best that they can be.
Who she has worked with:
- Southern Steel Netball, NZ U21 Netball, Beko Netball League
- Southland and Otago Rugby Academy Programmes (NZ)
- High-Performance Sports New Zealand (HPSNZ)
- SnowSports NZ
- Otago and Southland Academy of Sport Programmes (NZ)
