Over 7 years I have recoded many podcasts on the topic of nutrition (you can find links for these in the show notes if you want to take a deeper dive into the topic). One topic we have not covered in detail to this point is female athlete specific nutrition. For our male listeners, please don't turn off now. The information you are about to hear will be relevant to any female who works out regularly, and that could be your partner, mother, sister, daughter, training partner or an athlete you coach. To help me understand this topic I have asked Dr Jules Strauss to help me. Jules is a reader in Exercise Metabolism and Nutrition at Liverpool John Moores University where she has published over 40 peer reviewed scientific papers. She is also a Registered Nutritionist and the co-founder of Total Endurance Nutrition which provides sports nutrition coaching and consultancy. In the conversation we talk about: Nutrition fundamentals for female endurance athletes and whether these differ for male endurance athletes? How do these needs change through stages of a female's life? Are there any nutrition approaches that females should avoid (e.g. fasted training, low carb/high fat) How to best deal with topics like weight management, especially relevant if you are a coach What are some of the barriers that women can face to effective nutrition? Should women tailor their nutrition to their menstrual cycle? To find out more about Jules please visit the following places: A bit more about Jules - Bio Website - Total Endurance Nutrition Instagram - @jules_strauss_nutrition @total_endurance_nutrition (This is Jules' nutrition coaching business) International society of sports nutrition position stand: nutritional concerns of the female athlete This is one of Jules' papers if you want a deeper dive into the molecular mechanisms underpinning differences in metabolism across the menstrual cycle Two books highly recommended by Jules: The Infinite Game by Simon Sinek. "I found this a fascinating read which explores long term thinking, growth mindset and resilience. Whilst not related to sports nutrition, I took some useful lessons from this book." Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez. "An interesting book exploring data bias. As someone who has conducted exercise physiology and metabolism research (for the last 20 years) in women as well as men, I understand some of the challenges that comes with this, but this book really highlights the scale of the data gap and the importance of bridging it."

If you’re an alien dropped into this earth, you could be forgiven for thinking that we had a totally different food ecosystem in the world. One where instead of individuals seeking out fuel and nourishment, their eating is guided by specific rules and where the followers of these rules are divided into fiercely divided tribes. You think I’m joking. But a recent post on my FB page about fat adaptation almost became a battle between two warring tribes debating the good versus evil of carbohydrates! It feels to me and to many others that humans have to be following some sort of named diet. And if you aren’t, then you’re just wandering around in the wilderness like a lost soul. In today’s show, I am joined by Adam Feit. Adam is the Head Strength and Psychology Coach and Curriculum Developer, for Precision Nutrition (PN). I invited Adam onto the show because PN have often stated that they are agnostic when it comes to dietary philosophy. Their guidance and advice to their hundreds of thousands of clients around the world is to focus more on understanding human food requirements, along with some basic practices and habits. Listen as we discuss: How Precision Nutrition works, and why it’s different from other programs The difference between a Nutritionist and a Nutrition Coach Is there a difference between everyday nutrition, and sports nutrition? Adam’s pet peeves about how individuals and society view nutrition How even nutrition coaches struggle from time to time with their nutrition If you’ve gotten off track in the last few months with your eating, Adam’s guidance on how to return to balanced eating To learn more please go to this link where you can read more about Adam, and find his social media channels.

This week’s guest is Adam Feit, Director of Sports Performance for Reach Your Potential Training (RYPT) and master class coach at Precision Nutrition. Adam has worked at every level of physical preparation, from youth up to the professional level. He also created the Complete Jumps Training System for coaches. I had heard of Adam, not only through the Complete Jumps product, but also through Ken Clark’s mentioning of the unique speed training approach at RYPT, as well as seeing great tweets on Adam’s coaching ideals down at a seminar at ALTIS. This podcast revolves around Adam’s philosophies on speed and jump development, particularly in young athletes. Many of my guests are high level track and field coaches, or performance coaches who work largely with collegiate and professional athletes. Adam has not only that experience, but also has years of training developmental athletes. As Curtis Taylor of Oregon mentioned in a previous podcast, the more age groups in the sport you can work with, the better coach you become. Adam is a great guy to talk to about jump training. After doing a podcast with Lee Taft, and looking more into everything Lee does on speed (have an intimate understanding of game movement, and build that outward into speed work), it makes good sense to take the same care with jumping and its relation to team sport movement. One of Adam’s unique exercise models is in the realm of hybrid jump training, which unlocks a new world of physical prep possibility. Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more. Key Points: Adam’s background in the coaching field Approaches to teaching acceleration and speed to young athletes The value of training top end speed for team sport athletes The biggest need in jump training in athletic populations Progressing an athlete from absorbing force to reactive plyometrics Hybrid jump training, and its role in team sport training Adam’s top three exercises to improve vertical jump in high school athletes Quotes: “We focus so much on acceleration, but we neglect to train body position” “The biggest need in jump training for youth athletes is absorption of force and eccentric control. When it comes to jumping, it is their ability to land from that jump” “In our speed program, whether it’s a linear lateral or multi directional day, we’re always going to end with some element of training with a reactive base, or chaotic base, or competitive drill” “What I notice from these guru trainers (and plyometrics) is that they are doing too much, too soon, and too often” “Before I jump up, what’s my arm position like? Am I being reactive with my arm swing.” “Before we do any jump, we do some type of double arm snap down…. we want to make sure we get that rhythm and timing down first” “We do a snap down, we move that into a box jump, and we move that box jump into a depth drop or altitude drop. We don’t do any landings higher than 18” in our facility” “We do it in (preparation for) lifting, if you are Olympic lifting you do some sort of complex work in your warmup, if your squatting you might do some corrective goblet squat work or landmine work, why are we not doing that with jumping?” “How can we better prepare our athletes for landing on one leg, that was one thing we wanted to improve with the hybrid training” “Where we see the transfer of the rotational and lateral jumping (in hybrid jumping) is in change of direction” About Adam Feit Adam Feit is the Director of Sports Performance for Reach Your Potential Training and is responsible for the design and implementation of the center's sports performance programs. Before joining the Carolina Panthers, Adam served as the Head Sports Performance Coach for Eastern Michigan University in 2010-2011.
