Scenario:
Work Experience –
– Abbey School: Delivered Introduction PowerPoint about me and the importance of Nutrition (went extremely well good communication)
– Abbey School: Delivered PowerPoint on Hydration and how good and bad hydration affects sporting performance. Mentioned also how to calculate sweat and water loss, which they struggled to understand.
– Abbey School: Designed a Nutrition Infographic about nutrition for the students for them to understand the topic further.
– Online Consultation – Sedentary individual asked for my help to create a plan as they wanted to lose weight. Collected information well but the session went on for way too long (1hr,30minutes) and as a result, they began to give one-worded responses and low energy to towards me. Possible solution for future is to create a questionnaire for clients to fill in beforehand.
– Nutrition Plan – For the same client above ^ went fine.
– In-Person Shopping (Tesco/Nisa Local) with physically fit, young footballer who wanted help with what ingredients and food were vital for dinner, which was also his post-recovery meal. Session went well, explained benefits of different foods clearly. (Meal was a Mexican Burrito)
