Episode 115: Quick Tip—Are you panicking about your gymnast not being ready for season?
There is NOTHING worse than feeling behind in Pre-Season, especially if your gymnast is injured and unsure if they'll even have a competition season.
There are 3 main reasons we see gymnasts and parents (and coaches!) alike panicking this time of year, and nutrition has to do with all of them.
1. Poor energy, poor focus (accused of not trying hard enough)
2. Not ready bc injured, sick, etc
3. Ignoring nutrition as comps seem too far away or you're "too busy"
