Building a Sports Nutrition Business while Educating Young Athletes with Jenn Giles


Listen Later

As a professional athlete, motivation and hard work is not the only key for your career success, but did you know eating proper nutrition can help you  perform at your best? Are you ready to lead a healthy lifestyle inside and outside of your sport season?  

Jenn Giles is a Sports Dietitian Nutritionist  with 24 years of  experience working with athletes in all sports and of all ages. She thrives on helping athletes achieve their goals! Jenn’s background is unique in that she was a youth athlete (swimmer and softball player) turned adult athlete (runner, open water swimmer and triathlete) who married an athlete (runner and triathlete) and is now the mother of four little athletes (Swimmers, hockey players and lacrosse players). In other words she knows the expectations of all moving parts for athletics - coaches, parents, sports organizations as well as athletes’ own expectations.

This week’s Healthcare Hacks and Connection, Nathan Navas and Jenn Giles will talk about How she finds a solution to the number one problem in sports, proper nutrition, that influenced her to educate young and adult players on eating healthy meals both in and out of season. How her experience as an athlete draws her to become a Sport Nutritionist that not only builds her business, but also a healthy lifestyle for all athletes. 

They will touch on such topics as:

  • The transition from being employed to becoming a Sports Nutritionist has helped her build her own business.
  • How to find balance in health, work, and life — regardless of your business, age, and career.
  • How any business owner or entrepreneur can apply the marathon traits and achieve success.
  • Go back to the habit that got you on your track in your business.
  • The number one mistake as an entrepreneur is not asking your clients what they need.
  • It’s important to look back not only at your small wins, but also the mistakes or failures that you have made in the past. This way, you’ll be able to reveal those mistakes and develop an effective learning strategy out of it.
  • Failure is one of the noble ways of figuring out what works for you and what doesn't.
  • The biggest mistake youth sports players can make is putting off their future because of the game.

 

Hack: Get out there and network more. If you not on the media you don’t exist, it is your job as a business owner to make people aware about your business
