Podcast Episode 71 Food for Thought : Fueling for Peak Physical and Mental Performance

Imagine owning the fastest sports car in the world — incredible engine, premium tires, every performance upgrade money can buy, but the gas tank is empty. Coach Antoinette uses that image to introduce one of the most overlooked pieces of mental performance: nutrition. This episode isn’t about specific diet plans, it’s about how what (and when) an athlete eats during a long tournament day directly impacts their ability to make decisions, regulate emotions, and stay focused when it matters most.
