    Parents Picky Eaters & Milk Drinkers Vs. Muscle Mass

    As a Head Coach for many years now... I just wanted to start a conversation about one of the largest things that we see impact the ability of kids to move forwards into upper level gymnastics... eating habits. I've been playing with ChatGPT a bit and decided to ask it a few questions about...

    WAG Protein for picky eaters

    I am train Xcel Gold this summer. I’m used to doing 9 hours a week and I will go to 16 hours. This is clearly a pretty big increase in not only time but how hard I will be working. It’s also summer which means I have time to make food. (I’m 13 btw so I can make stuff on my own). I really want to...

    Coaches Coaches/Judges food at meets - Input Requested

    I'm taking over as meet food coordinator for coaches & judges. Just wondering as coaches what foods/meals do you like or not like when attending meets. Ours is a large 3 day meet so 24+ coaches and 8+ judges at any given time. We have a loose 'menu' but trying to shake it up a little.

    Parents "How to Discuss Nutrition and the Body with your Daughter"

    Saw this article from USA Volleyball but thought it had some relevant points for gymnastics. While the two sports are obviously different, I like the idea of talking about performance as it relates to nutrition. I'm pretty sensitive about not talking too much about this stuff b/c I don't want to...

She asked me to request suggestions for articles she can read to learn more about how different foods can help her (and all athletes) maximize their benefits. Kinds of foods, when to eat...

    MAG Meet day food

    Ds has an incredibly fast metabolism. We discovered at his first real meet last weekend that we need a better plan for meet day food, especially if he is going to survive 6 hours between check-in and the end of the awards.

    WAG Food for judges at meets

    If you are a judge or work providing judges food at meets, what do you provide for them? The few people that handled this area for meets we host are no longer with the gym and I'm helping take over that area. Are there any requirements of what must be provided? (E.g. Vegetarian options, food...
