A brilliant new resource from the Institute's Body Composition Working Group. #BelievePerformAchieve
💪✨ "Don’t think you have to look a certain way to be a sporting success" 🌟 Sport Ireland’s powerful new video sheds light on the misconception that athletes must "look" a certain way to succeed. It’s a reminder that real strength lies in individuality, resilience, and self-belief, not in fitting a specific mold. 🏅 Let's celebrate diverse body types and focus on what truly matters: our passion, performance, and perseverance. 🌈 Watch the full video and learn more about redefining athletic success here: youtube.com/watch?v=lJa4DF9G…

🌍 Dr. Ben Cousins took us on a journey through "Applied, Data-driven Sport Science: Using Research to Optimise Performance." He explored Fiji Rugby's preparation for the 2023 Pacific Nations + Rugby World Cup, highlighting the challenges faced along the way. Additionally, he shared insights on Brentford FC’s ambition to be the most caring and progressive football academy, focusing on providing nutrition for squads training four evenings a week. An inspiring session! ⚽🏉 #believeperformachieve #HPX2024
