All active people can use your nutritional support.

If you coach serious exercisers, athletes, or people with highly-active jobs, they rely on you to help them perform and recover within the constraints of their daily lives. When you can confidently coach beyond macros, meal timing, and workout schedules, you create a broader pool of clients and ultimately, better results.

When you become a Specialist in Nutrition Coaching for Athletes, you’ll…

Have the confidence to assess, plan for, monitor, and evaluate athletes and serious exercisers to help them meet their activity demands

Recognize how your clients’ mental, emotional, and relational demands impact your ability to coach them successfully

Develop “movement nutrition” programs that set you apart from other “just make a meal plan” coaching approaches

Deepen your practice with real-world coaching strategies and techniques developed by athletes for athletes

Learn the importance of going beyond terms like “athletes” or “exercisers” to better understand and help each client as an individual

Find new ways to understand a client’s movement experiences and patterns, which then affect their nutritional goals, needs, and priorities

Know how to work with other performance personnel—like coaches & team managers—to improve buy-in of your nutrition plans

Bring your clients’ awareness to factors that may be limiting their progress as well as their quality of life
