Ireland's leading performance nutritionist and bestselling author, Daniel Davey, will be launching his new book Eat Up: The Next Level at St. Brigid's Hall, Tubbercurry on Friday, 28 October.
Daniel, who has worked with some of Ireland's top elite athletes, will be in conversation with special guests to talk about the connection between mindset, nutrition, sport and high performance. Whether competing at the highest level or trying to run your first 5K, the first steps to achieving your goals are the same.
Daniel’s new book provides fascinating insight into how to understand yourself – both strengths and weaknesses – set a goal, and then build good habits and behaviours to achieve it. Food is central to this conversation, as good food choices affect mood, energy, health and ultimately our ability to perform at a high level.
Join us for an inspiring evening of conversation that will energise even the most jaded jogger, uplift the most worn-out powerlifter and tempt the most reluctant of home cooks. This promises to be a brilliant evening of discussion and insights on the minds of high performers.
Ticket price includes a copy of Eat Up: The Next Level (RRP €25) which is packed with easy and nutritious recipes to help you support specific training goals, recover from injury or simply give your immune system a boost.
Tickets will sell out quickly so book your place today.
