One week post UFC Sydney and amazing result!
High level athletes require high level and detailed coaching.
It involves real time decision making.
Throughout this entire camp I’ve worked with Joni in depth, check ins, daily messages, constant adjustments, and constant feedback loops.
Because at the top level, nutrition is never “set and forget”.
Macros change.
Training load changes.
Sleep changes.
Stress changes.
Hydration changes.
Weight fluctuates.
Appetite shifts.
Recovery changes.
Performance changes.
And every one of those variables affects what the athlete needs next.
Some days the scale is down, but performance is flat.
Some days weight is up, but the athlete feels sharper than ever.
Some days everything looks perfect on paper, but mood, energy, and recovery tell a completely different story.
That’s why we don’t just coach calories.
We coach the entire system.
We use the scale, but we also use training output, sparring quality, energy levels, digestion, sleep, mood, and how the body is responding session to session.
Then we adjust.
Sometimes that means pulling carbs.
Sometimes it means pushing carbs.
Sometimes it means increasing sodium.
Sometimes it means backing off fibre.
Sometimes it means changing meal timing.
Sometimes it means doing nothing and letting the body settle.
This is what real fight nutrition looks like.
Individualised.
Data driven.
And built around performance first, not just chasing a number on the scale.
Because anyone can give an athlete macros.
But it takes experience to adjust them daily, keep them fuelling hard sessions, keep weight moving in the right direction, and keep the athlete calm, confident, and in control right through camp.
