Nutritional Coach

WHAT IS A NUTRITION COACH?

A nutrition coach for golf is a registered/licensed dietitian who has experience meeting the nutritional demands of golf athletes. Ideally, your nutritional coach may also have a background in exercise such as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS®) through the NSCA®.

Similar to how your golf coach analyzes your swing, your nutrition coach will analyze the following:
• Your current eating habits and lifestyle
• Your nutrient intake based on a personal food log
• Your golf game and how the latest nutrition trends may hinder or help it

Best of all, you will have someone to hold you accountable for sound nutrition practices at home, on the road, and most importantly on the course.

HOW CAN A NUTRITION COACH LOWER MY GOLF SCORE?

To improve your golf game, nothing can replace time spent at the driving range, on the putting green and in the gym; However, a solid nutrition plan can certainly enhance it and may even provide that mental edge to take you from par on a hole to a birdie.

Some benefits a nutrition coach can provide include:
• Teaching what foods improve energy levels to allow you to play the 18th hole as strong as the 1st
• Preventing the mental fatigue that may occur from dehydration and lack of nutrition
• Providing sensible lifestyle changes to meet your weight goals
• Eating guidelines for tournaments
• Strategies for proper recovery following long practice sessions

If that’s not enough and you would like something for the 19th hole, your nutrition coach can also develop a “game plan for winning nutrition” for your entire family.
