SPORTS NUTRITION NIGHT at Riverside HS

Feb. 22 at 7 PM in the Auditorium

(FOR PARENTS AND ATHLETES)
This is a FREE event

Training and competition place high demands on the body, but most student athletes don’t connect the dots between what they eat/drink and their performance in sport. Proper nutrition provides athletes with the energy, nutrients and hydration needed to progress in their training, excel in competition and recover strong. Join us for a discussion about nutrition for sports performance, where you’ll learn:

• The Basics: why, when & how to get essential macronutrients your body needs to perform
• Nutrition & Athletic Performance: the fuel-performance equation
• The Power of H20: why hydration matters and how to do it right
• Game Day: short-term strategies for eating before, during and post-competition
• Max It: how to maximize muscle gain and lose fat through the right diet
• The Long View: everyday nutrition during the training season

Lisa Allen & Trish Drennan, certified nutrition and performance training coaches will lead the evening’s discussion. Allen and Drennan are co-owners of BlackBench Fit, a company whose programs include sports performance and athletic development, located in Ashburn, VA.
