Spice Nutrition/Fuel For Footy - Nutrition for AFLW

Stop Leaving Your Best Footy in the Kitchen.

$297 · 6 months access · Instant start

You train like an athlete. You show up to every session. You eat pretty well.

So why are you still gassing in Q4? Still waking up sore three days after a game? Still guessing what to eat before a match and hoping for the best?

It's not your fitness. It's your fuelling.

Fuel for Footy is the only self-paced nutrition course built from the ground up for female footballers — by a female footballer with 13 years on the field and a dietetics degree to back it up. No generic sports nutrition. No adapting a men's program. Just the exact system for what to eat, when, and why — built for the demands of women's football and the realities of your body.

The athletes finishing strongest in Q4 aren't fitter than you. They're better fuelled than you!

Real Footy Players. Real Results.

What female footballers are saying!

Olivia - U18 Girls Talent League Player

I had been struggling with what I thought was my fitness for years, little did I know it was actually my fuelling! The information and practical guidance Bella provides in this course made it so easy for me to implement into my daily routine and really made me confident in my food choices for the first time!!

Alyssa - Local Senior Womens Player

I’ve played sport my whole life, but never really learnt much about nutrition or how to properly fuel my body for training and games. Through the Fuel for Footy course, that completely changed. I finally feel like I understand what my body actually needs and how much of a difference good nutrition can make for both performance and recovery.

Sarah - VFLW Player

Throughout my years playing VFLW not once had I received any structured information on nutrition specific to me as a female footballer until I came across this course. I went in thinking I could gain some information on what to eat before games and was blown away by the depth and variety of information Bella provides from off season nutrition all the way through to injury nutrition. She could charge double the price and it would still be an absolute STEAL!

Seven Modules. Every Phase of Your Season Covered.

No filler. No theory for theory's sake. Every module gives you something you can apply immediately.

Module 1: Nutrition Foundations for Female Footballers 🌶️

Why everything you've been told about sports nutrition is probably wrong — for you.

Most sports nutrition advice is built for male athletes and adapted down. This module starts from scratch. You'll learn how female physiology changes your energy needs, what macros actually matter for football, and why the "healthy eating" you've been doing may be leaving serious performance on the table. This is the foundation. Everything else builds on it.

Module 2: Game-Day Fuelling — What to Eat Before, During & After 🏉

This is the module that changes Q4.

The 48 hours before a game determines how you feel in the last quarter. Most female footballers get this completely wrong — not from laziness, but because nobody has ever taught them the actual protocol. In this module you'll get a clear, practical game-day eating strategy you can apply to your very next match. Most athletes who complete this module notice a difference immediately.

Module 3: Energy Availability & Under-Fuelling 🏋️‍♀️

The silent performance killer nobody talks about.

Under-fuelling is rampant in female footballers — and most don't even know they're doing it. It doesn't mean starving yourself. It means training load and fuel intake are out of sync — and it shows up as fatigue, poor recovery, disrupted cycles, and body composition that won't budge no matter how hard you train. This module teaches you how to identify it and fix it.

Module 4: Recovery Nutrition — Carbs, Protein & Timing 🚺

Stop being the last one to feel fresh at training.

Recovery isn't passive — it's driven by what you eat and when. In this module you'll learn exactly what to eat after training and after games to speed up muscle repair, reduce inflammation, and arrive at your next session actually ready to perform. If you're consistently heavy-legged or slow to recover, this module will change that.

Module 5: Travel, Injury & On-The-Road Nutrition 🍝

Because "we're staying in a hotel" shouldn't derail your season.

Away games. Interstate travel. Eating out when your routine disappears. This module gives you a clear framework for fuelling well no matter where you are — and what to eat during injury recovery to protect muscle mass, reduce inflammation, and return to play faster than expected. The athletes who nail this have a serious edge when finals come around.

Module 6: Evidence-Based Supplements for Female Footballers 💊

What actually works, what's a waste of money, and what every female footballer should know.

The supplement industry is full of noise. This module cuts through it — covering the specific supplements that have genuine evidence for female football performance, when to use them, and what most female athletes are missing without realising it (hint: iron is almost always involved). No guesswork. No expensive products you don't need.

Module 7: Building Strength, Speed & Endurance Long-Term 💪

How to fuel the athlete you're building — not just the season you're in.

Short-term performance is one thing. Building a body that gets stronger, faster, and more resilient year on year is another. This module shows you how to set nutrition goals that compound — so you arrive at every pre-season in better shape than the last, and finish every season with more left in the tank than you started with.

Why I Built This — And Why It Took 13 Years.

For most of my playing career, I was doing everything I thought I was supposed to do. Training hard. Eating "healthy." Getting enough sleep. And still — flat in Q4. Slow to recover. Running out of legs when the game was on the line.

It wasn't until I studied nutrition that I understood what was actually going on. I wasn't unfit. I was under-fuelled. And almost everything I'd been told about nutrition was built around male athletes — not female footballers, not our physiology, not our game.

I spent 13 years figuring this out on the field. I spent years studying it in a lecture theatre. And I built Fuel for Footy because I didn't want another female footballer to spend a decade guessing.

Every module combines what I learned on the field with the latest sports nutrition science — written in plain language, built for the real demands of women's football, and designed so you can apply it from your very next training session.

This is the course I needed when I was playing. It didn't exist. So I built it.

Still Got Questions? We've Got Answers.

How long do I have access to the course?

You get 6 months access from the date you enrol — plenty of time to work through all 7 modules and apply everything across your current season. Many athletes revisit specific modules (especially game-day and recovery) throughout the year whenever they need a refresh.

How long is each module?

Each module takes approximately 20–30 minutes to complete. That means you can work through the entire course in a weekend — or take one module a week if you prefer. Either way, every module gives you something practical you can apply to training or a game immediately after watching.

Is this relevant if I'm not playing at an elite level?

Completely. The fuelling principles for women's football are the same whether you're playing elite AFLW, VFLW, Talent League, or community women's football. Your body doesn't care what level you're playing at — it needs to be fuelled the same way. This course is built for female footballers at every level.

It's mid-season — is it too late to start?

Mid-season is actually the best time to start. The game-day and recovery modules deliver results immediately. You can apply what you learn to your next game and your next training block — most athletes notice a difference within the first week. Don't wait for pre-season. Your next game is coming.

How is this different from just Googling nutrition tips?

Google gives you generic advice built for male athletes, or influencer content with no evidence base. This course was written by an Accredited Sports Dietitian who has played female football for 13 years. Every recommendation is evidence-based, female-specific, and built around the real demands of AFLW. There is genuinely nothing else like this on the market.

Why Fuel for Footy Is Different.

Built for Female Footballers. Not Adapted for Them

Every other sports nutrition resource starts with male athletes and works backwards. Fuel for Footy was written from scratch for female physiology, female hormonal cycles, and the specific energy demands of women's Australian Rules football. This is the difference between advice that kind of fits and advice that actually works.

Evidence-Based. Not Influencer-Based.

Every recommendation in this course is grounded in current sports nutrition science. No fads. No supplements that don't work. No extreme approaches that tank your performance. Just the strategies that the research — and 13 years of playing experience — actually supports.

Practical From Day One.

You shouldn't need to finish a course before you can use it. Every module ends with clear, actionable takeaways you can apply immediately — to your next training session, your next game day, your next recovery window. The game-day module alone is worth the enrolment.

Built for the Real World.

You're not a full-time athlete with a private chef and unlimited recovery time. You're juggling training, work, study, and everything else life throws at you. This course gives you strategies that actually fit into your schedule — not an idealised nutrition plan you can't sustain.

Your Best Footy Is Still Ahead of You.

You've already done the hard part. You've built the fitness. You show up. Now give your body what it actually needs to perform.
