Jonny Holland
Former Rugby Pro, Nutritionist and Coach
Nutritionist & Coach Jonny Holland is a former professional rugby player with Munster rugby. After retiring from the game at 25, due to a hamstring injury that refused to recover, Jonny completed a post graduate degree in Applied Sports & Exercise Nutrition.

Professional rugby gave Jonny the exposure to top class coaches in all areas including nutrition, sports science, mental skills and balancing lifestyle.
