Your peak rugby union performance is only possible with precision sports nutrition—guided by an expert rugby union nutritionist in Sydney. This is where science meets strategy to fuel your body for elite rugby union performance.
Are you—or your teenager—a rugby union player constantly running out of energy before the final whistle? Struggling with cramping, heavy legs, or fading focus in the second half? Finding it hard to recover between training sessions, gym work, and games? You’re putting in the effort—but still falling short of your peak. It’s not a training problem. It’s a fuelling problem.
I’m Jake Biggs, an expert rugby union nutritionist in Sydney. I help junior, elite, and aspiring rugby athletes fuel smarter, recover faster, and perform at their absolute best—every game, every season. Whether you’re in pre-season build-up, mid-season grind, or finals intensity, I design personalised sports nutrition strategies tailored to your position, playing style, and individual physiology.
In rugby union, your body is your engine—and when it’s fuelled right, there are no limits.
I also work with professional and elite athletes, sharing the exact evidence-based nutrition and recovery protocols I use with top-level players to help them hit peak performance and maintain consistency across the toughest competition schedule.
This is not your standard sports nutrition consultation with a sports nutritionist or sports dietitian. This is a detailed, evidence-based sports nutrition consultation designed specifically for rugby union players who are serious about unlocking their peak performance through meticulously tailored rugby sports nutrition strategies.
First 45 Minutes – Rugby Union Performance Deep Dive & Nutrition Analysis: I’ll take a deep dive into your rugby union performance, starting with a full clinical analysis of your nutrition — your macro- and micronutrient intake — and how it’s fuelling your body across training sessions, match play, and recovery. We’ll assess your training load, recovery patterns, positional demands, and injury history to pinpoint exactly where energy leaks, fatigue, or under-recovery are holding you back.
Together, we’ll identify the barriers stopping you from reaching your peak — whether it’s inconsistent power output across halves, sluggish recovery between sessions, reduced speed or agility on field, or underfuelled muscles that struggle to perform under contact. We’ll set clear, actionable short- and long-term goals so you can train harder, recover faster, and perform with consistency. You’ll walk away with complete clarity on why your performance hasn’t been where it should be — and a step-by-step plan to take your rugby performance to the ultimate level.
Final 15 Minutes – Your Personalised Rugby Union Elite Performance Sports Nutrition Plan: This is the core of the consultation. I’ll provide your precise, evidence-based formula — a fully personalised blueprint that combines optimal nutrition, targeted recovery strategies, and lifestyle optimisation designed specifically for rugby union players. You’ll leave with a step-by-step, actionable plan that shows you exactly what to eat, when to eat it, and how to support your body to maximise energy, strength, speed, and recovery. This is more than guidance — it’s your exact roadmap to achieving peak rugby union performance and sustaining it throughout your season and career.
