FAQ
-
How long is the group coaching program?
This is a 9 week long program. We will meet once a week for about 1 hour live coaching calls (could be a little more with questions, will cap at 1.5 hours). You will have access to replays of all the live calls, a private FB community to ask questions, The College Gymnast's Guide to Nutrition Workbook, Meal/Snack recipe ideas, video modules, and more.
-
When does the program start?
We will start on Thursday August 5th! A time will be set once everyone is enrolled and we send out a survey to find the best time for everyone.
-
Is this course for someone with an eating disorder?
No. Eating disorder recover should be supported through 1:1 coaching with a registered dietitian nutritionist trained in disordered eating/eating disorders and sport. We can chat about 1:1 coaching if this is your current situation, or help refer you to someone in the community.
-
How do I know this works?
Christina works with high level gymnasts from across the country, many of which are D1 or Senior Elite gymnasts (who have struggled with food and body at some point in their career). This framework is what she uses with her 1:1 coaching clients, but you must put in the work to get results from the program.
-
Is there a payment plan?
Yes! First off, you may be able to use a Health Savings Account through your insurance if you have one (likely your parent's insurance as your student athlete insurance will be unlikely to provide a HSA). You (or your parent) can pay monthly for 2 months, 3 months (less per month) or pay in full.
-
What if I'm the parent or coach of a college gymnast?
We have something for you too! Contact Christina directly to chat about your situation and we will provide the best support possible for you and your gymnast. [email protected]
-
What if we've already worked with you 1:1 or are enrolled in your online course for parents?
Contact me privately to discuss a there is a discount for current or previous clients.
-
Do you offer refunds?
No, we don't offer refunds. But, you will be refunded in full or offered a 1:1 coaching spot if the group does not fill by August 5th (minimum 6 gymnasts, at the discretion of Christina Anderson RDN, LLC).
Why this Program is Different
A lot of universities don't have solid nutrition support for gymnasts. That's just the truth. There's a lot that goes into this, but often it's just a lack of staffing issues (2-3 sports RDs for ALL of athletics isn't enough to provide 1:1 support) or lack of knowledge/training in gymnastics nutrition. This is especially an issue around disordered eating and food/body struggles that are so common in the sport. You deserve better.
