This episode is for cheer parents and athletes alike. Ashley Steinberger, The Cheer Nutritionist, breaks it down for us today. Ashley is a Registered Dietician and a former All Star cheerleader, high school cheerleader, and she cheered at a D1 college, so she knows all the things about cheerleading.
As The Cheer Nutritionist, Ashley helps cheerleaders with their nutrition for optimal performance. It’s not about weight loss; it’s not about dieting, and she has advice for athletes of all ages. She tells us what cheerleaders need to be eating, when they need to be eating, and why it’s important.
We even talk about that big adrenaline crash on competition day. Cheerleaders, I love you, but sometimes y’all get cranky on competition day, and what you might be eating can play a factor in that. Enjoy my conversation with Ashely as she gives us advice and tips on what to be eating throughout the cheer season, and on competition day!
