New performance supplier for Wasps

Wasps Netball have become the first Superleague team to partner with an official performance supplement supplier.

The deal, which will run until 2020, will see the Vitality Netball Superleague club work with EQ Nutrition who have spent the past year working alongside the Wasps Rugby team.

EQ Nutrition already work with the likes of World Heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, British Olympic diver Tonia Crouch and top boxing trainer Shane McGuigan.

Wasps Netball hope that the new relationship with EQ will help improve fitness, recovery time and enable them to compete at the highest level for the duration of the season.

Tamsin Greenway, Wasps Director of Netball, said: “On game-day and throughout training sessions the players put their body under constant physical pressure, so recovery is vital to ensure you can continue to compete at the top of your game.

“We’re delighted to have teamed up with EQ Nutrition, they work with some of the best athletes in world sport and their assistance will give the girls the best possible chance to stay in peak physical condition.

“The Wasps Rugby players have also been using EQ products to great effect, such is their position in the league, so we hope that is a good omen for us.

EQ Nutrition specialise in tailoring nutrition support for athletes, helping them to reach the top of their game.

The sport nutrition specialists operate a strict batch testing process, to ensure products are safe and do not contain any banned substances.

Simon Stevens, EQ Nutrition founder, said: “Female nutrition is something we’re proud to be involved with, and it’s already been an interesting journey in educating the girls about different supplement plans.

“Each player will have their own plan according to their shape, size and goals, which is the same approach we take with the Rugby team that has proved to be a successful partnership.

“After we met with Tamsin, we were immediately excited about being involved in such an ambitious team as they start their journey.

“We are very confident in our products and hope that the high-quality supplements and our knowledge we offer will help the team as they look for success in their debut season.”
