Adequate hydration is crucial for helping athletes feel energized, focused, and healthy. However, most gymnasts struggle to stay adequately hydrated for practice. Learn the science behind hydration, help your athletes hydrate more effectively during practice, and watch their performance improve.
Coaches are important and influential role models for their gymnasts; how you talk and act about food and body has a direct relationship on how your athletes perceive food and their own body. Learn how you can fuel your body and be a role model for your athletes to help them develop a healthy relationship with food and body that outlasts their time in the sport.
Nutrition in gymnastics has long been a very stigmatized topic that many in the community are afraid to talk about and for many decades, the only times nutrition was discussed for a gymnast was if there was some sort of “problem”. As a result of years of research and practice, it is now known that nutrition is an essential component of building strong, resilient, happy, healthy, high performing gymnasts. Learn about a positive food culture and how to create one in their gym, gain an understanding of sports nutrition basics for gymnasts, understand the role of the coach in nutrition conversations, walk away with conversation starters to have conversations about fueling with parents and/or athletes that are within their scope, and take home strategies to make fueling for performance a priority in your gym.
