What’s up guys!
Thanks for joining me for the first episode of the Athlete Angle! I am welcoming on a very special guest, Katie Spada.
She is the owner of Spada Strong Nutrition which is a nutrition coaching business that teaches former athletes how to fuel for life after sports. She holds a master’s degree in Nutrition from Northeastern University with a concentration in Sports and Fitness. Katie competed as an elite level synchronized swimmer on the national team and collegiate level before retiring and pursuing her career as a dietitian.
I had the privilege to talk to Katie about her time as a collegiate athlete and the impact that had on her career as a dietitian. We discuss the narrative of body image in sports, why we struggle with body changes post sport and how to separate our worth from the way our body looks. We switched gears and discussed how to make guilt free food choices that both support our nutritional needs and still allow us to enjoy food—like the chocolate covered bananas in my freezer right now! Lastly, Katie shared some simple yet powerful advice that helped her to transition into life after sports. Let’s dive in!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
