Nutrition and Recovery Strategies for Coached Athletes

[CycleStrategist]

As coaches, we must emphasize nutrition and recovery as pillars of performance.
Key points to communicate:

• Adequate calorie intake to match energy expenditure.
• Timing of macronutrients (carbs, protein, fat) around workouts.
• Importance of hydration and electrolytes.
• Prioritizing sleep (7-9+ hours).
• Active recovery and mobility work.

"You can't out-train a bad diet or poor recovery."
