Olé Football Academy goes vegan for a week!
Lydia and Kyle Adams (Olé Class of 2014) moved into Olé Residence this past week and have already revolutionised The Olé Way of dining. For one week the Olé Staff and Young Olé Residential players will be going vegan. This is nothing extraordinary of course, with a number of master – class athletes shifting their diet towards purely plant based. Even this past week, England’s Football League promotion winners Forest Green Rovers made headlines as “The Completely Vegan Football Club.”
We’re going vegan in the name of Constant and Never – ending Improvement (CANi), exposing our young athletes towards a number of food, nutrition and diet related experiences. At the end of the day, each athlete needs to fine tune what works best for him / her to maximise potential and energy on and off the pitch. The Olé staff present and ready to facilitate each athlete on his or her individual journey.
Other activities kicking off this week at the academy include: Tuesday and Thursday night Yoga with Lydia and Olé Residential Master Chef. Stay tuned!
