Scottish Rugby partnered with Grenade over the Autumn Nations Cup as 'Official Supplement Partner'. This partnership saw the Scotland team provided with Grenade's range of supplements to enhance post-match recovery and support refuelling after training sessions.
Tom Coughlin, Performance Nutritionist tells us about the products and the strategies of using these within the Scotland camp:
“In an elite sport environment time is a really valuable commodity to anyone that works there so as Grenade have a number of products in a ready to eat or ready to drink format that saves me a massive amount of time in my role and that means I can reinvest that time in other really important areas”
On the importance of taste when choosing a suplement partner, Tom added:
“A lot of companies don’t understand one of if not the most important aspect of supplement design which is taste.
“If you want an athlete to be invested in a strategy to a point where they are going to build good habits it really helps to have a product that tastes brilliant that is something Grenade absolutely nails.
“When I have players coming up to the refuel table with big smiles on their faces or they are looking forward to refuelling whether it’s during gym or travel, I know that we are in a really good place and that is what Grenade delivers.”
Scottish Rugby only uses supplements that are batch-tested
for WADA banned substances. This ensures that supplements are safe for athletes
to consume. Scottish Rugby advises athletes to speak to a qualified SENr
