Introduction

We all want to maximise our health and our performance but with so many mixed messages out there about what we should eat and drink it’s hard to know what’s best. The GAA’s Recipes for Success booklet is filled with tasty, healthy, performance enhancing recipes that are easy to make and aims to support GAA players and members in making the right choices. Cooking for yourself is something you can only truly learn by doing. That’s why the unique partnership behind Recipes for Success facilitates bringing teams together to enhance not only their nutritional knowledge but also their practical cookery skills, one of the most important life-skills any player can develop. This unique collaboration is about bringing together expertise, including leading sports performance nutritionist Dr. Críonna Tobin, and an array of sectors to respond to an identified need in GAA clubs for both educational and practical programmes supporting healthy eating for sport. Recipes for Success has two elements; a “hands on” kitchen-based cookery workshop and a Recipes for Success toolkit which is filled with tasty, healthy, performance enhancing recipes that are easy to make.
