Episode #27 – How Can Your Wrestler Avoid Burnout in the 3rd period?

What You’ll Hear in Today’s 15-Minute Huddle:

Spitting, sweating and starving a wrestler to make weight is not a healthy nutrition plan.

So on today’s huddle, I talk with Jackie Slomin, Registered Dietitian, who specializes in nutrition for wrestlers.

Jackie and I talk about…

• How Jackie became interested in nutrition and why she specializes in nutrition for wrestlers.

• How she approaches nutrition/making weight for wrestlers and how her approach is different from the traditional approach.

• Jackie shares how important carbs are to their performance on and off the mat.

• Why she doesn’t believe young wrestlers should be cutting weight.

• Her advice/tips for sports moms of a younger wrestler and also high school wrestlers as they navigate nutrition with their wrestlers.
