Water Polo Nutritionist
Your peak water polo performance is only possible with optimal sports nutrition — guided by an expert water polo nutritionist in Sydney. This is where science meets strategy to fuel your body for elite aquatic results.
Are you — or your teenager — a water polo athlete constantly running out of energy before the final quarter? Struggling with heavy arms, poor recovery, or fading focus during matches or training? Despite putting in the hours in the pool and 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, a water polo nutritionist based in Sydney, and I help junior, elite, and aspiring water polo athletes fuel smarter, recover faster, and perform at their absolute best — every sprint, every shot, every quarter. 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 water polo, 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 sports nutrition strategies I use to help them reach peak performance and maintain consistency across training blocks and competition phases.
Finally, It’s Your Last Ever Water Polo Sports Nutrition Plan
Water Polo Nutritionist: Water Polo Sports Nutrition Initial Consultation
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 water polo players who are serious about unlocking peak performance through meticulously tailored water polo-specific nutrition strategies.
First 45 Minutes – Water Polo Performance Deep Dive & Dietary Analysis: I’ll take a deep dive into your water polo performance, starting with a full clinical analysis of your nutrition — your macro- and micronutrient intake — and how it’s fuelling your body across training blocks, pool sessions, and recovery phases. We’ll assess your positional workload, shoulder resilience, injury history, and seasonal demands 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 explosiveness during sprints, sluggish recovery between matches, reduced stamina in the fourth quarter, or underfuelled muscles struggling through high-intensity transitions. 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 water polo performance hasn’t been where it should be — and a step-by-step plan to take it to the next level.
Whether you’re building lean mass, chasing aquatic agility, or managing focus and resilience under pressure — this is more than guidance. It’s your exact roadmap to achieving peak water polo performance and sustaining it across your training, competition, and recovery phases.

As your water polo nutritionist, I don’t just provide meal plans — I create fully personalised sports nutrition strategies designed to optimise every aspect of your performance in the pool.
I focus on restoring energy rapidly between sessions, enhancing explosive power and aquatic endurance to maintain peak output across high-intensity sprints, quarters, and training blocks. Recovery is central — every protocol supports muscle repair, shoulder resilience, and connective tissue strength to keep you durable, mobile, and injury-resistant.
My approach also sharpens mental focus, reaction time, and decision-making under pressure — so you stay composed and responsive through every sprint, wrestle, shot, and defensive transition. 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.
Water Polo Nutritionist: How I Turn Your Talent Into Peak Performance With Personalised Sports Nutrition
| Poor Water Polo Nutrition | Optimal Water Polo Nutrition With Myself |
|---|---|
| Energy crashes mid-match, especially during repeated sprints or long quarters | I design fuelling strategies that match energy delivery to aquatic intensity, duration, and timing, ensuring consistent power output across matches and training blocks. |
| Persistent muscle soreness and slow recovery between sessions | I implement nutrient timing, anti-inflammatory foods, and recovery-supportive supplements tailored to your schedule, combined with sleep optimisation techniques to accelerate muscle repair and keep you training consistently. |
| Difficulty building lean muscle, explosive strength, or aquatic endurance | I develop precise nutrition plans that support hypertrophy, shoulder power, and sprint endurance, ensuring your body has the right substrates to grow stronger, faster, and more resilient in the pool. |
| Inconsistent match-day performance and poor execution under pressure | I create match-day nutrition protocols personalised to your position, play style, and pool conditions, giving you the fuel and hydration needed for sharp execution and sustained performance. |
| Increased risk of shoulder strain, joint pain, or contact-related injuries | I integrate collagen-supportive foods, omega-3s, and micronutrient-rich strategies to strengthen connective tissue, improve joint resilience, and reduce injury risk from repeated overhead movements and contact. |
| Fatigue during back-to-back matches or multi-day tournaments | I design intra-match fuelling and recovery layering strategies that maintain stamina, replenish glycogen efficiently, and minimise fatigue during consecutive high-intensity efforts. |
| Poor mental focus, slow reaction times, and reduced tactical awareness | I optimise cognitive performance through stable blood sugar, hydration, and brain-supportive nutrients, helping you maintain sharp focus, fast reaction times, and strategic awareness during plays and transitions. |
| Inconsistent hydration leading to cramps, headaches, or poor muscle function | I create individualised hydration plans, including electrolytes and fluid timing strategies, to maintain neuromuscular control, prevent cramping, and optimise muscle function throughout practices and matches. |
| Poor sleep quality and delayed recovery from high-volume training | I incorporate nutrition strategies that support melatonin production, cortisol regulation, and deep sleep cycles, ensuring your body recovers fully and adapts efficiently to heavy workloads. |
| Low immunity and frequent illness during peak training phases | I include immune-supportive foods, vitamins, and antioxidants, combined with gut health optimisation, to reduce illness risk and keep you training and competing at full capacity. |
| Mental burnout and loss of motivation during intense blocks | I incorporate mood- and motivation-supportive nutrients such as omega-3s and B vitamins, alongside strategic recovery nutrition, to maintain mental resilience and engagement during high-volume training blocks. |
| Slow adaptation to increased training loads or new programs | I use nutrient periodisation and recovery layering to support faster physiological adaptation, ensuring your body responds optimally to increases in training volume and intensity. |
| Erratic appetite, cravings, and poor eating patterns | I provide structured, personalised fuelling plans that stabilise hunger, enhance satiety, and reduce cravings, helping you stay consistent and optimally fuelled. |
| Low muscle mass and suboptimal body composition for aquatic performance | I optimise body composition through targeted protein intake, nutrient timing, and metabolic support, enhancing your power-to-weight ratio and in-pool explosiveness. |
| Micronutrient deficiencies affecting recovery, immunity, and performance | I assess and tailor comprehensive micronutrient strategies to your training load, sweat losses, and recovery needs, ensuring optimal performance and resilience. |
| Reduced technical precision and slower neuromuscular response | I improve reaction speed and technical execution through stable blood glucose, neural-supportive nutrients, and strategic fuelling before high-intensity efforts. |
| Inconsistent performance across training cycles and competition phases | I use periodised nutrition and recovery planning to maintain consistent high-level performance across training blocks and competitive phases. |
| Overtraining symptoms and fatigue-related technical breakdowns | I balance training demands with strategic nutrition and recovery protocols to prevent burnout, preserve technical skill, and maintain high-quality training sessions. |
| Lack of clarity around what, when, and how to fuel for water polo | I provide a detailed, step-by-step water polo-specific fuelling blueprint tailored to your training, competition schedule, goals, and physiology, giving you complete clarity and confidence. |
As your dedicated water polo nutritionist, my role goes far beyond handing you a meal plan. I deliver precision-engineered sports nutrition strategies tailored to the unique physiological demands of water polo — designed to elevate every sprint, every shot, and every quarter.
My approach targets the critical performance pillars: rapid energy replenishment between sessions, sustained aquatic power and endurance across high-intensity efforts, and strategic recovery that protects and rebuilds muscle tissue, shoulders, and connective structures under repeated load. Whether you’re in a heavy training block, mid-season grind, or preparing for finals, your nutrition becomes a tool for resilience, consistency, and peak output — tailored to your position, goals, and match-day demands.
