As an athlete, you have special needs in everyday life and during stress. However, you can only achieve sustainable improvement through positive habits, not through short-term interventions. That’s why food has to be fun and taste good, not just provide energy. I accompany individual athletes, teams, clubs and associations as a consultant and speaker. I briefly explain the most common questions from my everyday life.
Optimal nutrition in training:
We maximize your ability to perform and recover by not only ensuring adequate energy and nutrients, but also perfecting the timing of your meals. On the one hand, it is about time-critical processes of our metabolism, on the other hand, it is about very practical aspects, namely how the ideal diet can be fitted into your everyday life (work, education, commuting, traveling, etc.). When implementing your concept, I will accompany you so that you can soon establish the «winning habits» and not get fixated on my plan or your kitchen scale.
Muscle building/athletes in growth
Muscle and strength are key performance factors in almost all sports. An effective build-up is therefore important for many athletes. However, a ballet dancer has completely different requirements (mass, strength) than, for example, a skier or a weightlifter. Understanding the differences and tailoring nutrition to individual goals is critical.<br>
(Muscle) growth is also a crucial keyword for adolescents. Here, athletic performance should benefit from the natural development of the body. As soon as intensive stress slows down growth, health risks loom, and this makes puberty the decisive phase in the sporting maturation process. Nutrition plays an essential role in this context.
Weight optimization
In sports where weight is a performance-limiting factor or in disciplines with weight classes, effective and healthy weight management is critical to success. Professional guidance helps to ensure that body fat, not muscle mass, is successfully lost and that no disturbed eating behavior or eating disorders develop in the process.
Competition nutrition
Whether on day X, at multi-day events or over a longer period at tournaments: Competition catering is a major challenge for most athletes. Mental tension and external factors (climate, travel, event catering) further complicate the task. Efficient planning includes supply quantity, timing, product selection and organization, and is practiced in depth during the training process.
