Episode 56: What does it mean to "unlock" performance with nutrition?
Jul 24, 2023 Season 1 Episode 56

This is a GREAT episode for your gymnast to listen to with you :) 

Often gymnast's hear coaches say things like…

"Practice how you want to compete"

"Don’t waste a single turn"

I was working with a level 9 gymnast recently and “don’t waste a single turn” took on another meaning for me.

This story will share with you what I mean when I say "leverage the power of nutrition to unlock that next level of performance".

In this episode you'll hear: 

  • A case study on a level 9 gymnast whose parents thought everything was "fine" with nutrition 
  • How this gymnast improved her efforts in the gym (without more motivation, trying harder, etc)
  • What it means to use nutrition to help your gymnast gain that competitive edge and standout from her competition (especially if she's not the most naturally talented, and I can say that because that was my story)
