9th Week - Intensity Block

By -

There was such great skiing that happened this weekend I am so stoked to keep on rolling!  This week is going to be a quick turnaround.  We have the Jackson race weekend coming up fast!  This weekend will be busy with our High School races on Friday and Saturday and the High Plains races on Saturday and Sunday.  This time in the season it is essential to use your time wisely so you can keep your grades up and keep coming to practice.  Consistency in your training is what makes it so you can improve as a skier!  

I had a good conversation with Jackson and James in Walmart this weekend about Kabucha (and also slippers) so I decided the next nutrition tip should be all about probiotics!  I have another nutrition tip for you from my sister!  Here you go!  https://youtu.be/6DQHVYaTFrc

Eat Your Wheaties!

Breakfast Is For Champions By: Abigail Larson MS, CSCS You’ve heard it before, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day”. But if you are like many athletes breakfast is a mere afterthought if even a thought at all. But you are different than most people; you are an athlete and that makes breakfast not just important but essential for success in sport, work and/or school. Skipping breakfast slows your body’s ability to burn calories (metabolism) and brain function, and you set yourself up to raid the school vending machine by midmorning. When your blood sugar crashes you’re not likely to make nutritionally wise choices and it’s easy to go for a quick “fix” that will send you crashing again later in the day. This “crash” will cause your training and sports performance to suffer because you won’t have the energy necessary to keep up with your well-nourished teammates and competitors. To train and compete optimally you must eat optimally from start to finish everyday. Lots o
