Is your Level 9/10 gymnast disciplined enough with nutrition to perform, recover, and reach their biggest goals?

Every high-level gymnast knows that discipline is part of the sport. From perfecting routines to managing school and training, your Level 9/10 gymnast already works incredibly hard. But when it comes to nutrition, discipline often takes on the wrong meaning. In this episode, we’re unpacking what gymnast disciplined nutrition truly looks like—and how many athletes are missing the mark without even realizing it.

Too often, “discipline” around food turns into restriction, guilt, or fear of eating enough. Many gymnasts believe being disciplined means eating perfectly, cutting out “junk,” or following rigid food rules. But true gymnast disciplined nutrition is about consistency, balance, and fueling intentionally—not about being perfect.

If your gymnast is striving for a college scholarship, trying to move up to elite, or simply wants to stay healthy and strong all season, they need more than willpower—they need a clear strategy.
