Episode 86: Road to Nationals Part 4 - Your gymnast's nutrition plan when it matters most


Listen Later

Will your gymnast harness the power of her performance nutrition plan when it matters most, aka at Nationals?  How do you make sure she doesn't crash and burn at the culmination of a season of hard work?

Welcome to the final part of our 4-part series, The Road to Nationals. It's been so much fun over the last few weeks, specifically talking about what can help your gymnast makes the most of their competition season. And hopefully into the post-season big meets!

Because here's the truth.  I've seen gymnasts crush it with their nutrition all season long and then fall apart at Nationals. Why? There are two main observations that I've had while  exclusively working with gymnasts through every phase of training. Two main things that keep gymnasts stuck and struggling. And prevent them from really excelling all season long and reaching their big goals and dreams. 

Want to know more? Listen in to hear to today's final installment on how to best support your gymnast on their Road to Nationals. 

In this episode you'll hear about: 

  • When nerves kick in at high pressure meets and what you can do
  • How to make sure your gymnast is maximizing practices, even at the end of a long season
  • Why underfueling has such an impact on injuries at the upper levels
