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!
