Sophie Turner, World Leading Actress

“Nessan has been instrumental in preparing me for my most recent project. His expertise as a nutritionist have genuinely transformed the way I view my body and my health. He ensures undeniable results whilst maintaining a happy and healthy mind. It’s never a chore, it’s always delicious. And he has significantly improved my overall health and wellbeing. Anybody would be lucky to have this man take care of your body and mind the way he does.”

Harry Toffolo, Nottingham Forest

“What a man. He definitely changed my career. He gave me the projection I needed and the professionalism I needed at the time to get to the Premier League and without his help, without the education he gave me, which I still use today. I wouldn’t be where I am now, so I’m very appreciative of his work and he’s, if not the best or one of the best in his field. So I’ve really enjoyed working with him. Great guy and he took my game to another level.”

Tom Lees

“By 31 I’d played 600 odd games mainly at championship level for some big clubs and worked with some top staff over my career. I thought I was pretty knowledgeable when it came to nutrition having always been focussed on its importance and always asking questions. Nessan changed my whole thinking on nutrition and i learnt so much that could take my performance on again even in the later part of my career. Great advice, up to date knowledge and clear explanations meant I learnt so much to take forward with me in my career.”

Alex Bangura, Sierra Leonean International footballer

“I already knew a bit about nutrition, but working with Nessan really opened my eyes. He helped me get back to my ideal weight and understand what my body actually needs as an athlete.

Our sessions were easy going and always useful, he listens, explains things clearly, and makes the process enjoyable.”

Luke Ayling, Leeds United

“When I first started working with Nessan at Leeds, I was 84 kg and around 18% body fat. Working together, we brought that down to 10%, and the impact on my performance was massive. I was hitting the highest outputs of my career, in the best shape I’d ever been, and ultimately earned promotion. That transformation was a huge reason I played so many games in the Premier League – and why I’m still performing at such a high level today.”

Lewis O’Brien, Wrexham FC

“Working with Nessan whilst I was at Huddersfield had a massive difference, not just on my football career but in my general life. The understanding he gave me within nutrition was the best I’ve had and it made a huge difference to performances.

I had more energy, recovered quicker, and just felt better overall. He isn’t just a nutritionist he is also a great guy to be around!

I’d recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their game that last 1 percent.”

Dr Sean Scantlebury – Head of Performance, England Women’s Rugby League

“Nessan is an outstanding practitioner. Having worked alongside Nessan for nearly 10 years I have seen first hand his commitment and relentless drive to improve performance.

Nessan has an ability to raise the standards of the athletes he works with as well as the environment he is working within, leading by example with a tireless work ethic and commitment to best practice.

Nessan adopts an evidence based approach, scrutinising literature to ensure he is applying the most up to date and gold standard practice available.

Finally, a key strength of Nessan as a practitioner is his ability to develop fantastic relationships with the individuals he works with, helping the individual understand the ‘why’ and facilitating behaviour change.”

Paul Bower – Physical Performance Coach CF Montreal

“I have been fortunate enough to see Nessan work with players and staff first hand in a unique and challenging environment – where the focus on nutrition required a considerable shift in culture and education to align with contemporary methods.

Fuelling players for optimum performance is hard – it requires innovation, knowledge, and high levels of skill to make a lasting impact.

Nessan has all of these, and more. He transformed our strategy, our methods, our beliefs, and on a personal level he changed my perception of the importance of nutrition coaching within a high performance environment.

If there is someone better than him I would love to work with them because it would be an education in the application of elite nutrition coaching!”

Callum Walsh Assistant Coach F.C. Porto

“I have worked in professional sport for over 15 years. I have rarely seen the impact to a performance culture that Nessan made not in 1 club but 2 clubs.

Nessan’s ability to connect with not just players but also staff was an energising force that was contagious to everyone that came into contact with him.

Nessan revolutionised cultures not only by creating outstanding, innovation menus that became the talk of training grounds, but also created a culture that is rare in elite football, one of conscious behaviours and decisions that players made could and would impact daily and in game performance . Over hearing players being conscious to talk about when there loading days nutritionally is practically unheard of within football.

His academic knowledge in nutrition is second to none and his ability to deliver is simply world class. He is and always will be the reference I use in elite sport for nutrition.

As a person Nessan is a fantastic sounding board to continually help develop people around him.”

Micah Hamilton – Middlesbrough FC

“Nessan – top at what he does, but not just that also a top guy. I worked with Nessan for around a year now and he made me a bespoke nutrition plan suited to me and what I like to eat to aid optimal performance and recovery. I went on loan in January, and he still stayed in contact with me and was always there to help. I’d recommend him to anyone looking to take their nutrition to the next level”.
