Are you excited about setting up your nutrition and health goals for you and your family for 2020, BUT...

You just don't know exactly what to do?!?

Or maybe you're ready to level up your nutrition goals this new year and you need a plan. You're in the right place as today we're walking you through how to be successful with nutrition in 2020 for your athlete. 

Understand The Importance

How important is nutrition to your athlete's health and wellbeing? 

It's absolutely critical! It's the base, along with Rest & Recovery, to building a strong and solid athlete that can stand the test of time. Without a solid base, your athlete will be subject to a greater risk of injury and lower levels of energy. 

Your athlete is growing and changing, and to leave them without the nutrients they need to succeed is dangerous. 

Get Them What They Need

Knowing nutrition is important isn't a hard sell (we all know this), but knowing exactly when to feed your athlete can be much more difficult. 

This is why we created the Road Map to Success. The roadmap lays out exactly when your athlete should be eating. Recommendations from the leading nutrition and dietetics association strongly suggest, based on solid scientific data, athletes should be eating throughout the day, every two hours. 

The Road Map to Success outlines the most important meals for athletes which include: 

• Breakfast
• Mid-morning snack
• Lunch
• Pre-workout snack
• Mid-workout snack
• Dinner

There are two reasons to eat throughout the day:

1. To keep nutrients available for your athletes...this makes sure they have a constant supply of energy
2. To make sure your athlete gets enough calories...most athletes struggle getting enough quantity, but eating throughout the day makes sure they get enough

Put It Together With A Plan

We know how important nutrition is for your athlete and we know they need to be eating throughout the day. Now, we have to put this together with a plan. 

Your plan doesn't have to be incredibly complicated, but you need to know what you're eating and when. If you don't know what you're eating for dinner tonight, you know exactly what will happen: You'll most likely wind up in the fast-food line!

But! When you have a plan, you have a very high probability that your athlete is getting great food into their body.
