SPORTS PERFORMANCE NUTRITION

You train hard.
It’s time your fuel matched your energy.

You're a competitive athlete putting in the work — but if your nutrition isn't dialed in, you're leaving performance on the table. I help college-aged and older athletes stop guessing and start fueling with confidence.

You’re doing everything right in practice. But something still feels off.

You’re training hard, competing hard - but your energy, recovery, and performance aren’t reflecting that effort. You’re not alone, and it’s not your fault.

You hit a wall mid-practice and don't know why. Your legs feel heavy. Your focus is gone.

You've been told carbs are bad — so you avoid them and wonder why you're running on empty.

Your mom says one thing, Instagram says another. You don't know what to believe anymore.

You think about food constantly — but still aren't sure you're eating the right things.

You wonder if your fatigue or injuries are just "part of being an athlete." (Spoiler: they're not.)

HI, I'M RACHEL

Your performance nutrition expert, who actually gets what it's like to compete.

I grew up on a dairy farm in southwest Minnesota — early mornings, hard work, and real food. That foundation sparked a lifelong love for nutrition and what it means to truly fuel your body well.

After working with the Minnesota Vikings and spending four years as the Head Football Dietitian at the University of Minnesota, I've seen firsthand what separates athletes who feel good from athletes who feel great. It's almost always nutrition.

Now I work one-on-one with college-aged and older athletes to build fueling systems that actually fit their real life — not some perfect ideal version of it.

Consistency over perfection. Fuel for performance, not appearance.

My Coaching Philosophy

  • Meet Athletes Where They Are

    Every athlete is starting from a different place. I take time to understand current habits, training demands, and goals before making changes. Progress works best when it’s built on your real life — not an ideal version of it.

  • Build Realistic, Sustainable Habits

    Quick fixes don’t build performance. I focus on habits that can be repeated consistently during school seasons, off-seasons, travel, and competition. Sustainable fueling creates long-term results.

  • Keep Nutrition Simple

    Performance nutrition doesn’t need to be complicated. Clear structure, balanced meals, and consistent timing go further than extreme strategies or rigid rules.

  • Fuel for Performance - Not Perfection

    Nutrition should support training, recovery, growth, and confidence. My goal is to help athletes fuel in a way that enhances performance while maintaining a healthy relationship with food.

WHAT SETS MY COACHING APART

I combine experience at the collegiate and professional level with practical, real-life application for growing and competitive athletes.

I understand the demands of high-level performance - but I also understand busy school schedules, family life, and the realities of training year-round.

My coaching focuses on:

• Structure without extremes
• Performance without restriction
• Clear guidance without overwhelm

Nutrition should feel supportive, not stressful. My goal is to help athletes build confidence in how they fuel -so they can focus on competing, not overthinking food.
