Episode 160: Fueling the Gymnast at College Camps [Replay]


Listen Later

Is your gymnast attending any college camps this summer?! Does your gymnast know how to optimize her fueling at college camps to stand out and make a lasting impression?

Summer camps are like a rite of passage for gymnasts. They're usually a fun time to make new friends, try new skills, and train in an upbeat atmosphere. But as they get older, and especially as they progress in the levels and reach the recruiting stage, these camps start to feel more like an audition. 

At this stage, gymnasts need to approach these camps as an opportunity to make a great impression. And that means being on top of their preparation, not just in their skills, but also in nutrition. Focusing on your gymnasts fueling BEFORE college camps is a must. Eating well the week of camp and hoping for the best ain't going to cut it.

In this Quick Tip episode you'll hear about:  

  • Why fueling the gymnast for college camps starts earlier than you think 
  • How performance Nutrition Strategy + travel planning is a MUST for college camps
  • The low down on intracamp meals + snacks + hydration
