We took the course first because we wanted our two gymnasts, levels 8 (age 13) & level 10 (age 15), to gain some first hand knowledge from a registered dietitian that not only specializes in gymnastics nutrition but also was a gymnast herself and someone the girls could relate to. We also had 1:1 coaching sessions after we completed the course which allowed us to answer questions we had and gain a plan targeted just to our girls and their individual needs.
Christina provided excellent information about nutrition related to food, vitamins, supplements, hydration, sleep and injury prevention while focusing on how to properly fuel the body, refuel during and after practice/meets as well as recovery. As a parent that sat in on the course with the girls, it was very informative and helped me provide them with the tools (from the nutrition side) they need to be successful.
We would highly recommend Christina and the course to other gymnasts and families. Her knowledge of gymnastics and nutrition make a win/win combination. It’s not always easy to find someone that understands both and how they intertwine. You can feel her love of the topic and her passion to help gymnasts succeed!
