Episode 151: What’s Next? Nutrition and Summer Training for Gymnasts


Listen Later

The season is finally over—and let’s be real, everyone’s exhausted. Gymnasts are sore, parents are tired, and coaches are running on fumes. Maybe you're not ready to even thing about nutrition and summer training for your gymnast. But here’s the thing… summer training is short.  Most gymnasts only have 14–16 weeks before pre-season ramps up again, and what happens now sets the tone for the entire next year. 

 In this episode, we’re talking all about nutrition and summer training for gymnasts—how to balance recovery with rebuilding strength, how to fuel for upgrades, and what gymnasts really need to focus on to come back stronger (without running themselves into the ground). 

This isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing the right things—at the right time—with the right fuel. Whether your gymnast is aiming for new upgrades or just trying to bounce back stronger, summer is the season to refocus and rebuild—not coast.

This one is for you. If you're asking "What now?" after season
