Your Body Needs More Fuel Than You Think

A growing athlete’s daily energy demands often land between 2,600 and 3,800 calories, depending on size, training load, and sport. Most athletes I work with eat half of what they need, especially when they skip breakfast or rely on small meals.

When intake is too low, strength drops and muscle fatigues faster. Reaction time slows. Recovery lags. Your nervous system runs hot. Even mood and focus take a hit.

When intake matches demand, everything improves. You feel stronger. More stable. More alert. Training produces better results.

ReadyCoach workouts are built around consistent development. But consistent development only happens when the body is fueled. Strength training and proper nutrition go hand in hand.

The body adapts to what you repeatedly do. Year round strength is not punishment. It is protection.

This is a core part of the ReadyCoach philosophy. Showing up consistently, even at lower volume, compounds into massive long term change.
