SPORTS NUTRITION COACHING

Keith Stickel, MS, CISSN, CSCS

Do you want to get bigger, faster, stronger? As an athlete, especially at the high school and collegiate level, chances are you put in hours upon hours of intense training to achieve these goals. However, are you also prioritizing your nutrition? The research says NO, as one article found that over 90% of the athletes studied were not reaching the RDA of protein, carbohydrate, and fat. This can be a problem when it comes to performing at your best.

At 3S Nutrition, our certified sports nutritionists have 3 main focuses with our athletes:

1. Education – To make better food decisions, you need to be well informed and know what choices to make. This is extremely difficult with the rise of social media, so we help to sift through the misinformation for our athletes.
2. General Health & Fitness – If you’re not at optimal health and fitness levels, you won’t be able to perform your best. An overlooked aspect of performance is recovery. Ensuring proper nutrition, sleep, and lifestyle habits are crucial.
3. Sports Specific Nutrition – Every athlete has their individual goals, training demands, daily schedules, etc. It’s our job to devise a plan specific to these needs, so they can perform their best when it counts.
