Ep. 9: Nutrition for Softball Players (Pt. 1)


Listen Later

Softball players, this one’s for you. Whether you're hitting bombs or grinding through tournament weekends, how you fuel matters—and there's a lot of misinformation out there. In Part 1 of this two-part series, we’re busting the most common nutrition myths female athletes hear, breaking down macros (carbs, protein, fat) and how they actually power your game, and giving you real-life tips on what to eat before, during, and after you play.


Plus, I’ll talk about:

  • - Why carbs aren’t the enemy

    - How protein builds more than muscle

    - Why “eating clean” isn’t the goal

    - My go-to supplement: creatine (and how it works)


  • This episode was reviewed by a registered dietitian—but presented by me, an exercise science grad and D1 softball player who’s lived it.Whether you’re new to nutrition or just tired of bad advice, this episode will leave you feeling empowered to fuel smarter.


    📌 Episode 10 will feature expert insight from Erik Bustillo, RD—so send your questions and stay tuned!
