Episode 136: 5 Mistakes gymnasts are making with their nutrition in 2025


Listen Later

Meet season is in full swing and we're already seeing the same five mistakes gymnasts are making with their nutrition. 

I know competition season is already stressful enough with nerves, travel, weird session times etc. BUT too often I see gymnasts and their families IGNORE nutrition during season (except for the night before or day of) because of everything else going on. 

Unfortunately, this is why so many gymnasts get MORE burned out/injured as the season progresses. Why routine endurance gets WORSE a few meets in instead of better. But good news is these 5 mistakes your gymnast might be making with their nutrition are all fixable! Depends on how motivated they are and how badly they want it, but it is possible to correct these habits. 

If you want to do everything you can to help your gymnast be successful and healthy this season, then this episode is for you! Listen in to to hear the top 5 mistakes we're seeing gymnasts make with their nutrition in 2025 and how to avoid them. 

In this episode you'll hear about:  

  • In day balance; is your gymnast skipping meals? It's having a bigger impact than you think 
  • Why it's absolutely vital to have a performance plan strategy for competitions AND practices
  • Toxic messaging your gymnast is hearing and how it is affecting her nutrition
