THE GRITTY DETAILS

Nutrition coaching is not synonymous with constant dieting and weight loss. Optimizing strength means making changes in food quality, nutrition habits, and understanding how fuel works to improve strength.
Training is more than reps and sets and PRs. Athletes must learn to be present and evaluate their success based on technique, consistency, and mental skills required to overcome adversity in training.
We are all beginners at something and some point. Embracing the steps it takes to rebuild is an important skill for life and in sport performance. Even elite athletes have an area of weakness that they are addressing on their journey.
