Episode 108: How much does it cost to keep a Level 10 gymnast happy + healthy?

How much does it cost to keep a level 10 gymnast happy + healthy, and competing in this sport?

Gymnastics is expensive. No one needs to tell parents that. The costs add up quickly from the very beginning, but they sky rocket once your gymnast reaches those upper levels. And I think an honest convo in a sport where we’re already spending money is crucial.

Some of you listening to this have little gymnasts where there are no fancy comp leos to pay for yet, tuition isn’t quote “that” expensive, and you aren’t going to travel meets all across the US.  But others of you have optional and above level gymnasts and I don’t have to tell you that the fees stack up quickly.

And some of you are 100% bought in in terms of knowing your gymnast needs fueling support, but you can’t get your significant other on board to spend money on one more thing. 

Listen in today as I'm breaking down all the costs in keeping a level 10 gymnast on the right track. And where nutrition fits in to play a role in helping their career.

In this episode you'll hear about: 

• What parents can expect to pay for a level 9/10 gymnast's competitive season
• How investing nutrition can lower costs in other areas long term
• The value nutrition plays long after they're done with the sport
