J’aime la France. 🇫🇷 🤍
A few weeks ago, my mom and I explored Paris and the French Riviera for her 60th birthday. It was a trip of a lifetime. Immersing myself in French culture, I’m blown away by France’s beauty - the country, architecture, art, food, people. Simply perfect, less is more. 🤍
This trip sparked my creative spirit and has me in a nurturing state of self reflection. I desire to create more playfulness in both my work and my personal life. 🤍
A few heartfelt insights from my time in France:
▫️French coffee is tiny tiny tiny (but strong) lol
▫️French food is simple yet deeply satisfying
▫️Time is nature does wonders for your mind
▫️Take your PTO and play. That’s what it’s there for
▫️Get pastries and baguettes before going through TSA security lol (there’s only a Starbucks and McDonald’s in the Paris airport terminal)
▫️Choose the vegetarian option on the airplane if you have a sensitive stomach
▫️Cassis and the Calanques stole my heart 🌊
▫️Bring your journal for travel📓
▫️Ask for a carafe of water when dining out
▫️If traveling to France in the summer, pack very light clothing - tanks, skirts, shorts.
▫️It’s okay to experience travel anxiety. Accept and embrace. 🤍
▫️It’s totally acceptable to eat bread and cheese.
▫️It can be helpful to protein powder to help meet daily needs.

Recovery and rest isn't a "break" from training - it's when the real progress happens.
Highly ambitious and driven, the concept of "rest" for figure skaters is often mistaken for "laziness". Rather, rest and recovery does quite the opposite.
Promoting muscle recovery / adaptation to training, mental restoration / clarity, reduced risk for illness / injury - rest is a critical part of an athlete's training.
It can feel vulnerable to take time "off" from physical training, but it is essential to make you a better athlete - performing at your best - and as a well rounded individual.
I recently came down ill and have been saddened to not be able to train the way I typically enjoy over the past few days, which inspired me to create this post. I recognize that my body is working overtime to fight infection and recover. Adding tools to my toolbox of hobbies, activities, mindfulness practices that I enjoy (many of which I gained through my time in sport working with cognitive performance specialists and sports psychologists), I've come to find peace and complete relaxation in this time of rest.
A gentle reminder that your body is worthy and deserving of rest and recovery. Rest does not necessarily mean you have to become a "couch potato", unless that is your calling! It is a shifting of a lens to other parts of your wellbeing - to nurture, show gratitude towards, and shower with compassion.
Consider rest and recovery and opportunity to recharge, care towards, and strengthen areas of your wellbeing - making you a better athlete, all around.
All relationships, including one with sport, requires healthy boundaries.
You show yourself love, gratitude, respect, and compassion by honoring rest and recovery.

Post-cycle snack nutrition hack
Swap out sour cream for non-fat plain Greek yogurt. Mix with your favorite seasoning packet. I chose Hidden Valley Ranch Dip Mix for a classic take on vegetable dip.
High in protein and calcium to support recovery and keep you fueled for success. 💪🏼🏋🏽‍♂️

Welcome to the official ATP Sports Nutrition page!

My name is Jessica. I am a two-time National Champion and past representative of the United States of America in synchronized skating. I've experienced first-hand the impact proper fueling can have on sport performance. Through overcoming various injuries - each threatening my athletic career, I've dedicated my personal and professional life in supporting athletic development and fine-tuning sports performance through sport-specific nutrition and exercise training.

Beyond the scope of competitive athletics, I have a huge passion for wellness nutrition, primary prevention, concussion and nutrition for the retired athlete.
