Many of you listening wonder what National is like; so today I wanted to give you a glimpse of what it’s like for me as a sports dietitian but ALSO what it’s like for my clients—some of which I traveled with and got the full experience of fueling gymnasts while on the road! Let me just say that nationals is like my superbowl ;it’s the one time of year I can come to a central location and see clients from all of the US—many of which I’e never met in person and others I have only seen a few times. We had 27 level 10s qualify to Nationals this year and it was so great getting to run around each session seeing parents, gymnasts, etc but also meeting coaches other people I’ve heard tons about but never met in person.  What’s also cool for me is getting to meet with USAG medical provider friends, doctors and ATCs who are there providing medical care. We often connect in varous ways whether that’s taking care of athletes together, seeing each other at Congress lectures, elite comps, etc and it’s so great to be reconnected with people “in the trenches” of this crazy sport. Links & Resources    The Balanced Gymnast® Program for level 5-10 female gymnasts Connect with Christina on Instagram @the.gymnast.nutritionist or christinaandersonrdn.com
