ACCREDITED CLINICAL NUTRITIONIST, SPORTS NUTRITIONIST: EASTERN SUBURBS, SYDNEY
Your peak AFLW performance is only possible with optimal sports nutrition — guided by an expert AFLW nutritionist in Sydney. This is where science meets strategy to fuel your body for elite football results.
Are you — or your teenager — constantly running out of energy before the final quarter? Struggling with heavy legs, poor recovery, or fading focus during games or training? Despite putting in the hours on the field and in the gym, you’re still missing your peak — and it’s frustrating. You’re not undertrained — you’re underfuelled. No matter how hard you push, poor nutrition will always hold you back.
I’m Jake Biggs, an AFLW nutritionist based in Sydney, and I help junior, elite, and aspiring footballers fuel smarter, recover faster, and perform at their absolute best — every session, every game. Whether it’s pre-season conditioning, mid-season intensity, or finals pressure, I create personalised sports nutrition and recovery strategies tailored to your position, play style, and individual physiology. In AFLW, your body is your engine — and when it’s fuelled right, there are no limits.
I also work with professional and elite players, sharing the exact evidence-based sports nutrition strategies I use to help them reach peak performance and maintain consistency across training blocks and competition phases.
This isn’t your standard sports nutrition consultation with a sports nutritionist or sports dietitian. This is a detailed, evidence-based sports nutrition consultation designed specifically for AFLW players who are serious about unlocking peak performance through meticulously tailored, game-phase-specific nutrition strategies.
First 45 Minutes – Comprehensive AFL Sports Nutrition & Performance Assessment: We start with a full-spectrum analysis of your current nutrition and performance. I assess your macronutrient ratios, micronutrient intake, hydration, and supplement use to see how effectively your body is being fuelled across training, matches, and recovery windows. This includes evaluating the timing, quality, and quantity of your meals in relation to your AFL-specific demands.
Next, we review your training load, recovery patterns, and performance metrics—examining energy output, muscle repair, inflammation, sleep quality, and digestive resilience under physical stress. We pinpoint how your body is adapting to training, where fatigue is accumulating, and why recovery may be delayed or incomplete.
Together, we identify the barriers holding back your peak performance. Whether it’s inconsistent energy, underfuelled muscles, poor sleep, recurring injuries, or stalled progress, we pinpoint the root causes and develop a strategy to overcome them. You’ll leave this phase with clear insight into why your performance has been suboptimal and a step-by-step framework to elevate it.
Final 15 Minutes – Your Personalised AFL Performance Sports Nutrition Blueprint: Based on your assessment, I deliver a personalised sports nutrition blueprint designed specifically for AFL athletes. This plan integrates optimal nutrition, sport-specific macronutrient timing, micronutrient optimisation, hydration strategies, and recovery-focused foods to fuel high-intensity performance and accelerate muscle repair.
I also incorporate lifestyle strategies to support sleep, stress management, and digestive health, ensuring your body can adapt, recover, and perform consistently. You’ll receive practical guidance on meal structuring, pre- and post-training nutrition, supplement protocols, and daily routines tailored to your physiology and performance goals.
This isn’t a generic meal plan—it’s a strategic, evidence-based framework built to enhance performance, reduce injury risk, and support long-term athletic development. You’ll leave the session motivated, confident, and equipped with a clear roadmap to achieve and sustain your best-ever AFL performance.

As your AFLW nutritionist, I don’t just provide meal plans — I create fully personalised sports nutrition strategies designed to optimise every aspect of your performance on the field.
I focus on restoring energy rapidly between sessions, enhancing power, endurance, and repeat sprint ability to maintain peak output across high-intensity drills, matches, and training blocks. Recovery is central — every protocol supports muscle repair, joint resilience, and connective tissue strength to keep you durable, agile, and injury-resistant.
My approach also sharpens mental focus, reaction time, and decision-making under pressure — so you stay composed and responsive through every contest, transition, and fourth-quarter surge. Every plan is tailored to your position, training load, and season schedule, giving you the fuel, nutrients, and recovery strategies required to consistently perform at your best while minimising fatigue, overuse injuries, and setbacks.
