Episode 80: 3 Signs Your Gymnast Needs Nutrition Coaching (+ when they don't)


Listen Later

Are you wondering if your gymnast needs nutrition coaching but you're not really sure? How do you know when it's time to hire a sports dietitian to support your gymnast's nutrition?

Parents and gymnasts are BUSY, but specifically this time of the year is crazy time. Competition season, travel, school, the list is endless. So it's super easy to overlook nutrition. Probably pretty realistic to say when most parents even think about it, it gets pushed to the back of the line for things that just seem more immediate. One of those, "after season" things they'll think about. 

So today I want to give you an episode that cuts straight to the chase. I'm sharing three signs that your gymnast needs nutrition coaching. And when they don't.

In this episode you'll hear about: 

  • The gymnast who is always tired or exhausted, stuck on certain skills, plateauing, dealing with injuries etc. and what might really be going on
  • Young, high-level, fast tracked gymnasts and what you can do to prevent them from burning out before reaching their big goals and dreams
  • Why nutrition coaching is a must for college gymnasts if they want to stay healthy for their collegiate career and make line-ups
