Fueling the Mind: How Nutrition Impacts Nerves, Focus, and Performance with RD Alyssum Reno-Smith (Part 1)
What if some of the nerves, brain fog, and missed decisions on the court aren’t about skill - but about fueling?
In part one of our conversation with registered dietitian Alyssum Reno-Smith, we dig into how nutrition directly impacts the nervous system, focus, confidence, and in-game decision making for volleyball athletes. From energy drinks and hydration to carbs as brain fuel, this episode connects the dots between what athletes eat and how they perform - mentally and physically.
This conversation is especially timely as club season kicks off and athletes prepare for long competition days, early mornings, and high-pressure moments.
