Episode 170: Are You Nervous About Investing in 1:1 Gymnast Nutrition Coaching?
Thinking about gymnast nutrition coaching but feeling hesitant? You’re not alone. Many parents wrestle with the same fears before starting 1:1 coaching for their gymnast—and in this episode of The Gymnast Nutritionist Podcast, I’m unpacking the most common concerns and what you really need to know before making the investment.
We're in the thick of Preseason and I know gymnast nutrition coaching is not at the top of the list for many families right now. Skills verification, putting together routines, recruiting commitments for my older gymnasts...there's a reason why our winter cohort is usually the biggest. It's because it's during competition season and it's usually at that point that parents are realizing their gymnast needs serious help with fueling.
Nutrition coaching isn’t always easy, but it’s always worth it. And you’ll never walk the journey alone—we’ll support you every step of the way.
✨ Ready to learn if gymnast nutrition coaching is right for your family? Tune in now to Episode 170.
In this episode you'll learn:
- Nutrition coaching is designed to fit into your busy schedule. You’re already feeding your gymnast—we simply give you the strategy, intention, and direction to do it with confidence.
- How we meet you exactly where you’re at. Forget kale-only diets and mom guilt.
- No matter what level, fueling well makes a difference. Even if she’s considering quitting, proper nutrition supports her health, growth, and confidence.
