Game Day Nutrition was designed and tested in several Melbourne schools in 2020 by Ola Luczak. Ola competed in Division 1 US college tennis at the University of Central Florida. It was here she discovered that eating pop tarts and free pizza on campus was NOT an optimal fuel choice for performance.

Over the past decade Ola has devoted her energy towards adolescent sports nutrition – where lifelong habits form.

She was alarmed to discover:

• ~65% of athletes were dehydrated (Game Day Nutrition testing with 300+ athletes)
• ~75% of female athletes were under-fuelling (in line with AIS research)
• Many athletes were underperforming with low energy levels, poor concentration, slow reaction times and decreased motor skills (largely due to the above two reasons)

This fostered a passion to create a program to support athletes on a consistent basis throughout their adolescent year. She quickly noticed that sports directors, coaches, parents and athletes wanted more resources and advice in the nutrition space. And Game Day Nutrition was born.

Each school year more and more developing athletes find success by experiencing Game Day Nutrition.
