Sport Nutrition Coach Certificate
Firstly, we should understand the different roles that a Sports Nutrition Coach serves when compared to a general nutrition coach or clinical nutrition coach. Commonly, a general nutrition coach will focus on overall health and education around nutrition guidelines and some habit modification, whereas a Sports Nutrition Coach will focus more on performance, recovery, and bioenergetics-based nutrition education
A general nutrition coach will work more with clients and populations to develop strategies for addressing issues like obesity, body composition, aging, and lifestyle approaches to disease management, whereas a Sports Nutrition Coach will work with athletes to educate and provide coaching around performance nutrition, game-day nutrition strategies, and weight management for sporting criteria.
