Have you ever been asked, “What should I eat to help my performance?” or, “What
do I eat before a game or training session?” Have you ever wished you could have
a Sports Nutritionist provide science-based, safe advice to help your team power
through the season?
Well, POWERBAR
® has the answers for you and
your team. Our training and nutrition experts have developed an easy-to-use
online tool to help guide your athletes. We have recently added options designed
specifically for teens 13–17 years old, so you can help guide your young players
to appropriate food and fluid choices before, during, and after games, as well
as help formulate a food plan designed to meet their calorie, carb, protein, and
fat needs.
POWERCOACH™ provides users total support with 24/7 access to
daily workout reminder emails, a personal training calendar, a workout log, and
much more. Users can select from running, triathlon, cycling, swimming, and
walking programs based on their experience and their ultimate goal (distance).
Additional training programs for non-endurance sports will be added in the near
future. To develop the unique training programs found on POWERCOACH™, POWERBAR
tapped the extensive knowledge of its POWERBAR
® TEAM ELITE™ athletes and
coaches. This is a great way to get your players in shape before the season even
begins!
POWERCOACH™ also supplies users with guidelines on proper sports
nutrition, which is the foundation for all training programs. This portion of
the customized program offers essential sports nutrition information, plus a
personalized daily eating plan geared to meet the specific nutrition needs of an
athlete. POWERCOACH™ gives insight on how to get the most from your workouts by
showing you how to get the energy you need during every phase of training and
competition.
Unlike many existing programs that offer simple
rule-of-thumb nutrition tips or information, POWERCOACH™ delivers the
personalized information an athlete needs to successfully train and complete an
athletic goal with as little or as much detail as he or she requires. For those
looking for high levels of scientific support and knowledge, links and videos
abound on the site. There are also daily email reminders sent to users, which
inform them of their exercise requirements for the day, with bonus sports
nutrition tips from our experts.

nutrition, continues to be a trusted training partner for its athletes.
