   John recently gave a fantastic presentation to parents and players at our GAA club about the importance of nutrition and how players can maximize their energy and performance levels. Since then, I've been working with him to improve my own nutrition as I recover from a recent operation. His expertise is top-notch, and he's very approachable if you have any questions. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to develop their nutrition knowledge and improve their general well-being.

   I’ve worked with John for the last 2 years during his time with the Kerry Senior football team. He is easily one of the best in the business, extremely approachable and always explains everything in a simple and an easily understood way. I got injured last year and he was an amazing help, from just after the operation, to when I was back on the pitch, he had it all down to a tee, giving great tips and advice to help me feel my best when training.  Top guy and excellent at what he does.

Joe O’Connor

Kerry All-Ireland Winning Captain

“I’ve worked with John for the last 2 years during his time with the Kerry Senior football team. He is easily one of the best in the business, extremely approachable and always explains everything in a simple and an easily understood way. I got injured last year and he was an amazing help, from just after the operation, to when I was back on the pitch, he had it all down to a tee, giving great tips and advice to help me feel my best when training. Top guy and excellent at what he does”.

Kevin Cronin

Pro Boxer

I started working with John only a few weeks ago. Being in the boxing gym multiple times a day, getting the roadwork in, travelling for sparring and juggling it with my job. I was feeling the fatigue, lack of energy for sparring sessions and other training, trying to look after my weight and hope my body has the fuel to help me with recovery while winging my own nutrition with the bit of knowledge I had. Only a short few weeks in and I cannot believe the changes, more energy, finding that extra gear to push that bit more and actually enjoying my sessions again while getting the most I possibly can out of them to progress and waking up the next morning with lots of energy and ready to go again. All down to John and his knowledge, the changes he has made to my career by implementing his nutrition knowledge into my plan is mind blowing. John's a great guy, explains everything very clearly and makes everything very easy to understand. I couldn't recommend John enough and look forward to continuing to work with him in the future. The only regret I have is not starting with him sooner..

Denis Moynihan

Manager, Rathmore GAA

"I got in touch with John to give a few of our lads a hand with their nutrition. The beauty of the service John provides is that instead of just providing general nutrition information to the entire panel, he works closely with the lads who really need it. As with any group of individuals, different lads will have different needs, and John caters to players on an individual basis whether it's fat loss, muscle gain or just general eating habits. John's help has benefited us hugely and I imagine is something that would benefit nearly every club team as I have no doubt it played a part in our All-Ireland success”

Liam Cahill

Tipperary Senior Hurling Manager

“I have worked with Ciara O Rourke in the 2022-2023 season in her role as Tipperary Senior Hurling nutritionist. Ciara’s responsibility is to work one to one with all members of the Tipperary senior hurling panel catering for all their nutritional needs throughout the various stages of the season. Ciara’s enthusiasm ,passion and most of all expertise has contributed to major personal and team gains this year. Ciara’s professionalism ,dedication and work ethic combined with her excellent communication , and skill to work as part of a team assisted players and management to drive the standards of hight performance every day. I am very grateful to Ciara for the work she has done over the past 12 months and wish her the very best of luck as she joins the Target Nutrition Team.”

Kate Bryan

Physiotherapist & CrossFit Goer

I worked with Ciara over a period of 6 months. I thought I had a good understanding of food and nutrition beforehand, but Ciara was able to point out patterns in my daily eating and weekly habits that I hadn't realised myself. She educated me on the importance of eating ENOUGH food and the right type of food with an emphasis on protein. Ciara also educated me on the different food I need to eat when training differently each day. Ciara is so approachable and always encouraged me to update her weekly with my progress, be it a week where I had reached my goals or a week when barriers got in my way. I would highly recommend Ciara for her nutrition services. She has changed the way I think about food forever."

Conor Stakelum

Tipperary Senior Hurler Testimonial

Ciara has been a pleasure to work with. Not only has she helped elevate my performance on the field through nutrition but has also helped me enjoy food a lot more off the field through her fun and expansive recipes & giving me a better understanding on the impact certain food cans have on the body."

Ciarán

Cyclist and Weight Loss Client

"In January 2021 I approached John as I was looking for nutritional advice to help with my training. I am involved in bike racing and while my winter training was going well, I called John as I wanted to hone in on improving my nutrition to help maintain performance while losing weight. From my first phone call with John I found him to be professional, thorough and knowledgeable. John was very easy to deal with and was always on hand to offer advice and to make changes to my nutrition plan when necessary. I had my best season to date and I have no doubt that John's attention to detail helped me in achieving my goal. I lost weight while remaining consistent on the bike and not losing power. I would recommend John to anyone looking for solid nutritional advice whether it be for weight loss, performance or general well-being. As each plan is tailored for your own personal needs and goals, there is something for everyone"

Fionn Fitzgerald

Lecturer & Owner Kaipara Academy

"The Sports Scholarship programme in MTU has been significantly enhanced through John's involvement and expertise on the nutrition front. John has collaborated with an experienced chef and lecturer in the HCT department to produce a series of hands-on, practical workshops for scholarship students. The feedback and experience has been incredible. John has skillfully drip-fed the key information around performance and recovery to the athletes in a simple and jargon free way. He has been a pleasure to collaborate with on the programme". “John, brought out young athletes through a top class nutrition workshop for our young athletes at our recent camp at Kaipara Academy. The content was a mixture of appropriate educational content around building healthy habits for young athletes and the practical workshop made the meals very doable for everyone, and tasty! The feedback from our young athletes was parents was too class! Would highly recommend John”.

Shane Conway

Kerry Senior Hurler

“As John was the first nutritionist I worked with, he instilled essential principles of nutrition into my training plan. His professionalism and his vast knowledge greatly aided my personal and physical development. John’s infectious enthusiasm enabled me to reach numerous performance goals. His meal plans were both implementable and affordable especially considering I was a student. What I learned from John can be used both in my sporting career and everyday life. I would highly recommend John as he has a good work ethic and is very easy to get on with”

Fionán Mackessy

Kerry Senior Hurler

"Having been involved in an inter-county setup I quickly realised how beneficial it was to have access to a top class nutritionist. John helped to elevate my game to a new level through support, nutritional education and the guidance he provided me with throughout the season. Being a dual player, I sometimes had very short turnarounds between sessions and games. John really helped me with my fuelling and recovery strategies to maximise my performance so that I got the most out of each session. His passion for nutrition is palpable and he really helped me to take my game to another level"

Shane Hickey

Cork Underage Footballer

"I had the pleasure of working with John last summer. He is very professional in his approach and provided me with a knowledge of performance nutrition that will stick with me for the rest of my playing career and life. As someone who plays both football and hurling, John had me well fuelled for both codes which helped me perform at my maximum, as well as reaching my goals. I would highly recommend working with him!"

Cathal Derivan

Kildare Hurler

"John was the first nutritionist with whom I worked with on a one to one basis and I cannot emphasise his level of knowledge and professionalism. Previously I had struggled to manage my nutrition, however working with John allowed me to cater for my body composition goals whilst not impacting on my performance on the pitch. John took me through a food diary review and outlined clear and simple steps which I could implement for my own personal needs. He was always on hand to to answer any questions I had and checked in regularly with me to see how my nutrition was progressing"

Mark Scanlon

Manager, Round Towers GAA

"John has delivered a series of Nutrition Workshops to our Club, Round Towers Kildare Town. The workshops were earmarked for our Senior Football Team but our whole club has benefited from Johns practical knowledge. The online webinars were delivered in a very professional manner and John made sure that the information was practical for the modern day GAA player. I would highly recommend John and Target Nutrition."
