Thriving Through the Season: Stay Strong, Energized, and Ready to Compete

In this episode of The Elite Athlete Podcast, Dr. Nicole dives into what it takes to stay healthy, energized, and ready to thrive during the busy athletic season. With fall sports wrapping up and winter seasons gearing up, it’s easy for athletes to hit a wall. Her field hockey players and their soccer friends are finishing their seasons, and hockey athletes are transitioning from split-season into regular-season mode. That’s exactly why it’s so important to prioritize the basics—nutrition, rest, and minerals—so you stay strong and ready to compete. She’ll talk about hydration and how minerals play a key role in keeping energy levels steady. Dr. Nicole has even done some research on a brand-new product she’ll be introducing to the athletes she coaches. They can put it in their water bottles to drink before or during practice, and she’s really excited about it. Stay tuned for more details on that! Travel schedules and busy days can make it tough to stay on track, but Dr. Nicole shares simple strategies to help avoid burnout, optimize nutrition, and ensure recovery stays front and center—even on the go. This episode is all about making sure athletes don’t just survive the season—they thrive through it.
