If your gymnast is serious about making it to Nationals this year (or any other major competition), now is the time to dial in their nutrition. And I've got something special to help you and your gymnast really hone in on nutrition to support them throughout this very long competition season.

There's no better time than the beginning of competition season to help bring it back to the basics. Today's episode is the first in a brand new series, Road to Nationals, because that is ultimately the goal of most of our athletes. And I want to help! 

So why is it so important that we take it back to basics and what do we really need to focus on in terms of nutrition for gymnasts hoping to make it Nationals this season? 

Listen in to hear more about how to best support your gymnast on their Road to Nationals.

In this episode you'll hear about: 

• Periodization and fueling for the work required
• Importance of closing the recovery gap and the cumulative effect of lack of recovery
• The need for a performance nutrition strategy and going into workouts well fueled
