Nutrition for Baseball Performance

For baseball players, the fall season means it is time to start setting goals for the off-season. Whether it’s gaining or losing weight, increasing velocity, or just getting stronger, the fall is the time to start making these changes.

Nutrition often plays a large role in attaining your off-season goals. In the baseball world, nutrition is often overlooked, and not on purpose. It’s just not always convenient to eat a well-balanced healthy diet with hectic sport and school schedules. Baseball players know that nutrition matters, yet have no idea what to do when it comes to nutrition.

I often see the struggles baseball players face every day when it comes to nutrition, and I have lived it myself as a former player and coach!

 

Why Nutrition Matters to Baseball Players

As a baseball player, you have the power to improve your performance through food. You must have plenty of the right foods to compete at your highest level. The stress you endure through sport and school increases your nutritional needs.

 

This is why Mike Reinold and I developed The Champion Baseball Nutrition for Performance eBook. This eBook will help guide you in making smart nutrition choices throughout your competitive years and set you up for a lifetime of healthy habits.

As a former baseball player who has played at the collegiate and professional levels, nutrition was always something I personally struggled with. I never took it seriously in growing up, and never understood how much nutrition could impact my performance on the field.

This was what my day looked like when I was in high school:

I would skip breakfast.
Have junk food for lunch.
Get home and microwave some pizza, nachos or hot pockets.
Have dinner and repeat.

My body composition was obviously not the best, and my performance began to deteriorate. I had no idea what to do, how to eat, or what to eat. That carried on into showcases and camps. Then I had a college coach walk up to me while I was drinking a Mountain Dew. This coach told me they liked my skill, they liked how I pitched in the game, but he was disappointed with my food decisions. He made it clear, they are recruiting me to come to their school and be there for 4 years on my own and making my own decisions.

That was my wake-up call.

 

…But I still didn’t know what to eat or how to eat!

So, I did what most do. I went online and found some articles and began to make changes here and there. There was SO much information out there though. Most of it was very opinionated, or quick fix diets, or take a bunch of supplements.

So, while I tried to make changes, I fell back into old habits as it was easy. Once I got to a higher level of baseball, I realized how serious everyone was at taking care of their bodies. We were lucky, we had a team nutritionist. Most do not. Our nutrition coach helped changed my eating habits, and begin to change my performance and recovery. I went from a bad body composition, to a stronger and less injury prone player.

Once I got done playing, I got into baseball coaching and strength training. I began to see the same problems I faced as a growing athlete. Players knew that nutrition mattered, yet had no idea what to do when it came to nutrition.

I wanted to make a difference and help baseball players navigate their nutrition. The Champion Baseball Nutrition for Performance Program helps address the problems we’ve seen in many baseball athletes. Nutrition is often overlooked, and not on purpose, it’s just not always convenient to eat a well-balanced healthy diet.
