Description

Ever wondered if there was a way to improve gaming performance without grinding on aimlab for hours? What if I told you you can improve your gaming performance just by changing the things you eat. In this course I provide a full walk through of gaming nutrition, physiology, supplements, hydration, sleep, performance strategies, diet quality, and weight loss.

There really is everything you could ever need to level up your gaming performance with nutrition.

My name is Alfie Gordon, I’m a PhD student in the UK. I graduated from Loughborough University with a 2.1 in Sport and Exercise Science in 2019 and in August 2018 I completed an 11-month work placement as a Research Assistant with the Ministry of Defence (MOD). I have recently completed an MSc in Sport Nutrition at Liverpool John Moore’s University. Alongside my MSc, I conducted an internship at Science in Sport plc (SiS) as a researcher. I am a registered nutritionist on the Sport and Exercise Nutrition register (SENr) and have experience advising esports athletes on nutrition, wellbeing, cognitive enhancers and competition strategies.

To start with, I will introduce the physiological characteristics of being an esports athlete. I will also try to understand the physiological demands of being an esports athlete – this physiology-first approach will help us provide better health and nutrition interventions. Throughout the course, I will be discussing exercise, physical activity, macronutrients, micronutrients, hydration, supplements, nootropics and how esports athletes and gamers can utilise all these factors to improve gaming performance.
