NCAA Gymnastics Nutrition - What Coaches, Gymnasts, and Parents Need to Know The SHIFT Show
-
- Sport
Today on the podcast I’m super excited to have back third-time returner, the wonderful registered Dietitian Christina Anderson. She helps athletes with performance, nutrition, dealing with food, and properly fueling themselves, specializing in high-level elite gymnasts all the way down to regular gymnasts. In today’s episode, we talk about properly fueling the College gymnast which is defiantly under-discussed. It is tough for athletes to transition to College life, they now have a busy schedule with classes and training, they're not used to shopping for themselves or cooking or even the dining hall with a million options and being on your own. We explore why older gymnasts have issues, productive strategies to help, and hopefully share important information for younger athletes and parents so they are educated and know what to expect.
We DISCUSS; exactly why athletes struggle with the transition to College?
HOW we can improve the lack of information around proper nutrition.
“If you just lost five pounds, you'd catch your Tkatchev” Why THAT IS SUCH BULLSHIT.
Weight gain in freshmen is due to delayed periods from being overtrained and under fuelled when they’re younger not because they're out eating and drinking.
STRATEGIES to help College gymnasts cope with busy College life.
Gymnastics is A Unique Sport with Specific Nutrition Needs.
There's no way to diet without CONSEQUENCE.
ALSO…
Christina explains her Small Group Nutrition Coaching for Collegiate Gymnasts to help them learn to fuel for optimal performance and longevity in sport (without the guilt/anxiety around food).
