A highly impactful Nutrition Workshop was successfully conducted by Ms Isha Khedekar, a National-Level Judoka and Sports Nutrition Expert, for the Somaiya Judo team. 

The workshop brought together 18 young judokas and 12 parents, creating an interactive platform where both athletes and their guardians actively engaged.

Through fun-based activities, young Judoka learned the basics of energy, growth, and recovery. Parents, too, benefited by learning how to reinforce nutrition practices at home and support their children’s athletic journey.

An important concern was raised regarding the quality of food served during school lunch hours. The nutritionist strongly recommended introducing healthier, performance-supportive meals for not only judokas but also all sports trainees.

The workshop successfully created a roadmap for Judoka and their families to integrate nutrition into daily routines while highlighting the urgent need for school collaboration to improve meal quality. 

This initiative marks a vital step toward ensuring that our athletes are well-fueled, prepared, and ready to excel in both training and competition.
