Fuelling & weight
Your profile holds a few details about you — your date of birth, height and weight — and tracks your weight over time so you and your coach can see the trend. This page explains how to use it, and some general, evidence-based advice on fuelling well to build and hold a healthy playing weight.
This is general educational information, not medical or nutrition advice. For anything specific to you — a target weight, a change in your weight, or a nutrition plan — talk to your coach or a registered sports dietitian. If you're under 18, loop in a parent or guardian too.
Your profile
Open Profile from the menu (top-right of the player app). You can:
- Set your date of birth and height. These rarely change, so you'll usually set them once.
- Log your weight whenever you want, and see your weight trend over the last several weeks.
Your weight and date of birth are personal and private — only you and your team's coaches/admins can see them, never other players.
Reading the weight trend
Your weight naturally moves around day to day — water, food, time of day and training all shift it by a kilo or two. That's completely normal. What matters is the trend over weeks, not any single reading, which is why the chart draws a smoothed line through your measurements.
- Blue dots are coach weigh-ins; purple dots are weights you logged yourself.
- The smoothed line is the signal — follow that, not the day-to-day bounce.
Weigh at a consistent time so your readings are comparable — for most people that's in the morning, after the toilet and before breakfast. Same time, same conditions, and the trend tells you something real.
Fuelling to build and hold weight
If you're trying to add or maintain muscle and playing weight, the foundation is simple: eat enough, eat often, and eat around your training. A few well-established principles:
- Don't train under-fuelled. Going hard on too little food holds back both your performance and your recovery. Eat a proper meal a few hours before training, and something with carbs and protein soon after.
- Spread protein across the day. Regular protein at each meal supports muscle repair and growth better than one big hit.
- Carbohydrate is fuel, not the enemy. Field sports run on carbs — they top up the energy your sessions and matches burn through.
- Recover with food and sleep. Hard sessions cost energy (you can see a rough figure on each session as Energy cost). Replacing that energy, and sleeping well, is when adaptation actually happens.
- Hydrate. Even mild dehydration drags down how you feel and perform.
If your weight is drifting down without you meaning it to, that's worth a conversation — it can be a sign you're not eating enough for your training load. Tell your coach, and consider seeing a registered sports dietitian.
A note on healthy weight
The goal is to be strong, fuelled and well — not to chase a number on the scale. Trying to lose weight quickly, skipping meals, or under-eating to make a weight can harm your health, your bones and your performance, and the risks are greater for younger athletes. If you ever feel under pressure about your weight, or food feels stressful, please talk to your coach, a parent/guardian, or a qualified professional. Asking is the strong move.
