Since you’re reading this, I’m guessing you’re an ambitious athlete who wants to:

  • Dial in your body composition,

  • Fuel to perform at your best,

  • Make the most of your competitive years.

If that sounds like you, you’ll probably resonate with many of the athletes I’ve worked with…

“I always hoped I’d get to where I am today condition-wise, but didn’t think I could. Now I am, and know I can get even better still! Loving how I've managed to get everything under control. Happier with my body. Just loving the spot I'm in physically and mentally. Again, thanks a million for it all.” - Ronan O’Neill, GAA Athlete

“I feel like I've gotten more pace and I'm moving better than I have in the last few years. I always would have taken these things seriously, but really leaning into it and dialing in with yourself has made a massive difference for me!” - Paddy Burns, GAA Athlete

For you, this might look like:

✅ Learning how to eat to fuel your body so that you go into training sessions confident that you’ll have high, sustained energy levels throughout.

✅ Dropping the extra kilos of body fat, so that when you look in the mirror, you see an athlete looking back, and your body composition is optimal for your performance goals.

✅ Implementing performance-enhancing nutritional strategies around competitive events like matches or races, so that you're able to simply go out and express yourself on the big day.

✅ Setting up your nutrition to support general health and recovery so that you're showing up to training (and life outside of it) with energy and vitality.

Reducing injury risk, so that you can train and compete all year, knowing your body is durable enough to withstand the hard training.

✅ Building sustainable habits that will carry you through not just the coming months, but also your entire sporting career and beyond.

Or, if you're like most of the athletes I work with, a combination of all the above.

If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place…

“Thanks a million for all of your help. Feeling unbelievable and looking forward to seeing how it shows on the pitch! Delighted to have gotten well under the 20 minute mark the 5k run, feelings extremely fit compared to where I was this time 12 weeks ago. Showing improvement across max push ups, pull ups, and burpees that I can do too, so winning all round.” - Cathal, GAA Athlete

“Just want to say thanks very much for the past six months. Couldn’t have imagined the changes from then to now and really feel this is a new starting point all over again to make more progress. I feel stronger faster more mobile and powerful and an awful lot leaner. I did the inbody scan yesterday and the changes from the first one were crazy. 7kg decrease in fat and up 1.5kg in muscle. The accountability was great and now at this stage it’s purely habit and enjoyment that I train for. “ - Niall, GAA Athlete

GAA player Aaron Kernan Nutrition gaelic football Nutritionist

“We put a plan in place early in the year and set targets for weight etc. all of which I met. I was taking part in every pitch session throughout the year and lasting the full 60 minutes, still hitting speeds and distances throughout games like I would have always done. At my age, this wouldn’t have been possible without your advice and guidance.” - Aaron Kernan, GAA Athlete

Allow me to introduce myself…

My name is Conor O’Neill and I’ve helped 1000+ athletes dial in their body composition, fuel to perform at their best, and make the most of their competitive years.

I’ve played sports my whole life.
Where I grew up, we played whatever sport was on TV.
When the golf was on, we built a mini-course.
When Wimbledon came around, we got the rackets out.
When World Cup fever hit, 5-a-side was a daily occurrence.
With my home GAA club, Crossmaglen Rangers, I was honoured to have been part of successful teams at underage and senior level, being part of an All-Ireland winning team in the process.
However, truth be told, I wasn’t very skilled.
Still, I loved training and playing.
As I pushed on at senior level, I started looking for performance-enhancing methods to make up for this deficit.
That led me down the road of performance nutrition.
This new obsession would eventually lead me away from my budding engineering career, in pursuit of something more aligned with my interests and ambitions.
Ten years later, I’ve read more textbooks and research papers than I care to imagine, and I’ve worked with over 1000 athletes.
What I’ve learned has also informed my own athletic pursuits and given me hands-on experience, whether that was back when I was playing Gaelic Football,
Or in more recent years since hanging up the boots, pursuing ambitious endurance running and strength training goals.
I believe in the importance of pursuing excellence in all walks of life, not least in your athletic pursuits.
I’ve learnt how much of an impact optimising what you’re doing away from sport (nutrition, lifestyle, etc) can have on that.
My mission with Performance Nutrition Coaching is to help like-minded ambitious athletes fuel their pursuit of excellence, whatever that looks like to them.

I like to be able to say “I’ve been there” when it comes to working with someone on their goals. Hence, I put “skin in the game” by throwing myself into various realms of athletic performance in order to experiment, experience the unique demands of each endeavour, and ultimately bring the learnings back to the lads I work with. That’s involved playing GAA at the highest club level, running marathons and other endurance events, pursuing powerlifting and olympic weightlifting goals, going to the extremes of body composition change, and many other athletic endevours.

Performance Nutrition Coaching

Here’s what’s involved…

1. Initial Athlete Assessment

We start by getting a clear picture of you as an athlete right now: your goals, training demands, lifestyle, and current nutrition approach.

We'll cover your nutrition history, physical metrics, key challenges, and what's driving you, so your plan is fully tailored to you from day one.

2. Your Performance Nutrition & Lifestyle Plan

We'll build your clear individual strategy, designed around your sport, training, and real-world commitments.

This could include:
Calorie and macronutrient requirements based on your fuelling and body composition needs,
Meal timing and fuelling strategies around training and competition,
Practical meal structures to give you full clarity executing the above,
Clear and actionable hydration, recovery, and supplementation strategies.

Training programming (full S&C/running plans or specific elements) can also be included where needed.

3. Weekly Progress Tracking, WhatsApp Support, and Education

Through regular progress reviews, ongoing adjustments, direct WhatsApp access, and educational support as needed, we stay closely connected week to week to make sure your nutrition is translating into performance.

In short, you're never left guessing.

We solve problems early, keep everything aligned, and make sure your effort is turning into measurable progress.

4. Monthly Performance Momentum Calls

Each month, we grab a 1-to-1 call to zoom out and review everything in more depth.

We'll look at what's working, what needs refining, and how we can continue progressing your approach as your training and life evolve.

This keeps your progress structured, intentional, and always moving forward.

5. Continuous Development & Life Integration

This isn't a static plan.

As your training, season, and life evolve, your nutrition system evolves with it.

The goal isn't simply to help you make short-term progress.

It's to help you continue improving across your competitive years and develop an approach that works within the realities of your life.

Over time, this becomes more than a plan you follow.

It becomes how you operate as an athlete.

“Just want to say a massive thanks for the last few months, really enjoyed getting my body to the best shape it's ever been in and you kept it nice and simple. It was hard work, but nothing too crazy as I was still able to eat the foods I wanted. It’s really given me the confidence I was missing in both my appearance and performance and everything was top class!” - Brian, GAA Athlete
