Head of sport science and conditioning Steve Tashjian and Professor Don MacLaren (nutrition advisor to Everton) have been working closely with the experts at sports nutrition company The Protein Works over the summer to develop the latest cutting-edge recovery formulas, tailor-made exclusively to meet the needs of the Everton first team.
“We are looking at every area of the club to see how we can push the boundaries further than ever before,” said Tashjian. “One of the areas that we thought we could gain a real competitive edge was in the players’ fitness, conditioning and nutrition. With the new, intensive training protocols we have put in place, and the very latest in bespoke sports nutrition from The Protein Works, we are confident that the players will be in the best possible shape once the new season starts.”
The Protein Works recovery formulas are already being implemented into the team’s pre-season intensive training programme.
“Footballers train harder and longer than ever before, and the conditioning that they undergo at Finch Farm is pretty intense,” said Tashjian. “Sports nutrition plays a key role in the recovery process, so we have to ensure the highest quality custom-made supplements are available to work hand in hand with our own very specific conditioning programmes.”
