In sports, the smallest changes often unlock the biggest results. For Indian triple jumper Poorva Hitesh Sawant, the breakthrough didn’t come from more hours of training — it came from finding the right fuel for her body with Qua Nutrition.

At just 22, Poorva is already competing at national and international levels. But her journey hasn’t been without obstacles. Behind her success lies a powerful lesson for athletes and coaches alike: nutrition can be the game-changer.

The Turning Point: Nutrition Testing with Qua

In 2023, Poorva underwent genetic and allergy testing with Qua Nutrition. The results were eye-opening: she was allergic to eggs, corn, almonds, and peanuts — foods most athletes heavily rely on.

“I didn’t even know how I was jumping before,” she admits. Once she switched to a Mediterranean-style diet tailored to her needs, her performance and recovery transformed.

Shortly after, she hit a season-best 13.25m jump — proof that the right diet fuels the right results.

Why Coaches Should Pay Attention

As a coach, you refine training plans, technique, and mindset. But what if diet is silently undoing your work?

Nutrition isn’t one-size-fits-all. Poorva’s story shows that even elite athletes may unknowingly eat foods that hold them back. With Qua Nutrition, you can help athletes:

✅ Recover faster and train harder

✅ Stay consistent through fewer injuries

✅ Break performance plateaus

More Than Strength: Building Resilience

For Poorva, nutrition didn’t just improve strength — it also boosted mental resilience. Inspired by her idol Rafael Nadal, she focuses on steady progress over quick peaks.

That’s what every coach wants in their athletes: consistency, confidence, and the ability to perform under pressure. Qua Nutrition supports exactly that.

Qua Nutrition + Coaches = Stronger Athletes

At Qua, we don’t replace coaching — we supercharge it.

Coaches handle training.
Qua handles fueling and recovery.

Together, we create athletes who are physically stronger, mentally tougher, and competition-ready.

The Takeaway

Poorva’s rise from a school track in Mumbai to the world stage proves one thing: performance isn’t just built in training, it’s fueled by nutrition.

For coaches, this is the edge your athletes need. Don’t leave performance to chance. Test, personalize, and fuel smart.
