As an athlete, whether at the middle school, high school, collegiate, or professional level, you have special nutrition needs, which vary depending on your sport and energy requirements. The nutritional needs of an athlete, especially for micronutrients, vitamins and minerals, calories, and fluids are greater than those of less active people. At Champion Athletes, certified experts in sports nutrition develop individualized programs for the student, amateur, and professional athlete alike. We help athletes of all ages understand that proper fueling and hydrating are vitally important pieces of the performance puzzle, whether your needs are: losing weight, increasing endurance and stamina, gaining lean muscle mass or just overall optimizing of performance.

Our sports nutrition program will optimize your diet and nutrition so that you can achieve your ideal competition weight and maximize performance. Nutrition and ideal body composition play an essential role in achieving your performance goals and maximizing your success. Each program is tailored to meet the specific needs of the individual athlete through a comprehensive assessment and continuous reevaluation.
