Saioa Segura, dietician-nutritionist at the high performing Sports Center in San Cugat del Vallés (Barcelona) and former student of Human Nutrition and Dietetics at School Pharmacy, gave a seminar to the students of Diploma in Sports Nutrition.

During the session, Segura highlighted the great demand for professionals specifically trained in this area and explained the functions that the dietitian-nutritionist performs in sports high performing centers. In his opinion, the most important thing is to"establish a relationship of trust with the athlete and his or her environment, as well as knowing how to work in multidisciplinary teams".

The CAR of Barcelona is one of the main destinations for the supervised stays of the students of Diploma in Sports Nutrition. In this sense, she encouraged them to make the most of the opportunities offered to them at the university and to always have initiative "because you never know what the future may bring. I myself began my professional career at the CAR with an internship and I could not imagine that a working relationship would be born from there," he said.
