My Story

My name is James Fleming, I am registered Sport and Exercise Nutritionist and I am offering nutrition workshops to as many rugby clubs as possible in order to raise money for the RFU Injured Players Foundation. 

Nutrition workshops are available to all clubs and age ranges from first team to the youth academy and can be delivered online or face to face (subject to club location). 

Workshops can be catered to cover a range of topics including: 

Nutrition for optimsing match day performance

Nutrition to enhance training adaptation and recovery

Nutrition for injury and illness

If you have specific topics you would like me to cover, please do let me know.

Suggested donation is £100 per workshop to the charity. Clubs have then used this as a fundraising opportunity within their club by charging players a small fee to attend and raise a bit of extra income to go towards their club.

The RFU Injured Players Foundation provide support and information to rugby players in England who sustain a catastrophic spinal cord injury or traumatic brain injury playing the game, and help prevent future injuries through vital research. 

Their assistance is available to any player, from grassroots up to professional level, to empower them to lead their lives as fully and independently as they are able to. They are there for the player, family, friends and club immediately after injury and for the rest of their lives.

They are continually funding research to make breakthroughs to understand how they can improve the care of the injured player and make the game of rugby safer with the vision to allow everyone to play the game without life-changing injuries occurring.

They also offer help to individuals who sustain injuries while playing rugby that are not classed as a catastrophic spinal cord injury or a traumatic brain injury, by providing information and where possible by relieving financial hardship.

We want everyone who loves the game to get involved. We need YOU to help raise funds and raise awareness to support injured players and to fund vital research.
