The 1st Place To Look When Your Athlete Complains Of Energy Crashes
The Top 2 Causes Of Athlete Fatigue Are: Dehydration and Insufficient Nutrition.
Most of our clients and/or patients are quick to ask, "What should I be eating? Or "How much water should I be drinking?" (Code for: Give me the "secret diet plan" to get me ripped, or "toned."
Others will be quick to add a Preworkout complex, energy drink, caffeine or stimulant.
It always comes down to basics.
The very first place to look when your athlete complains of energy crashes, bonking or hitting the wall is their nutrition and hydration habits.
(Contest prep is obviously an animal onto itself. Go see a contest prep coach for further direction of that is your goal).
But for those who have clients/patients who understand that food and water ARE the fuel for energy, their problem isn't a knowledge deficit of WHAT to eat. (Everyone knows the difference between eggs & oats and pizza)
Their problem is that good nutrition and proper hydration consists of multiple habits-and they simply have not mastered those habits yet.
Pro Tip: SEPARATE YOURSELF FROM THE MASSES BY SOLVING PEOPLE'S PAIN POINTS.
Their Pain Point is an energy crash. The Source of The Pain Point is failure to master the habits of good nutrition.
When assisting your clients/patients with nutrition & hydration, hone in on mastering the habits: meal timing/frequency, bulk cooking, portion size, meal prep, budgeting, etc.
THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO MAKE THE GREATEST IMPACT ON PREVENTING THOSE ENERGY CRASHES IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND SETTING THEM UP FOR SUCCESS OVER THE LONG-TERM. 👠
