- Feel: training feels good and is effective when correct fuelling and hydration are in place to provide enough energy.
- Connect: listening to peers and providing feedback on fuelling habits allows an opportunity to learn from each other.

For parents, carers and teachers
- There is a lot of content in this lesson. If your lesson is less than 60 minutes, combine learning cycles 2 and 3 by adding the fuel meters and fuel cards from cycle 3, to the cicuit activities in cycle 2.
