Performance Nutrition for Athletes Who Want to Compete at Their Best

ABOUT

Hi, I’m Rachel - a Registered Dietitian and Board Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics.

I work with competitive athletes - from high school athletes preparing for the next level to strength and power athletes focused on performance - helping them fuel consistently, recover effectively, and train with confidence.

After serving as the Head Sports Dietitian for University of Minnesota Football and working with the Minnesota Vikings, I now bring that same performance-driven mindset to the athletes and families I support today.

My approach is simple: consistency over perfection. Nutrition should support performance — not complicate it.

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.

  • “Working with Rachel helped me feel more prepared going into lifts and competitions. I have more structure around my meals and don’t second-guess what I’m eating.”
