Sports dietitians like you work with a variety of athletes in a multitude of
settings, focusing on a variety of sports-specific goals. Regardless of your
place of business or sport of choice, you want reliable, evidence-based
resources, tools for your clients, and a fun and exciting way to engage your
athletes. As a leader in sports nutrition energy, POWERBAR
®’s aim is to provide you,
the leaders in sports nutrition, access to the resources, tools, and engagement
that you seek when working with clients. With the vision of connecting athletes
with trusted sports dietitians, and each other, POWERBAR
® has developed online tools
that allow you to generate your own content and access current, scientifically
supported, dietitian-authored sports nutrition tips, updates, calculators, and
data.
Sports nutrition takes a cyber-leapWhile email is
convenient, phone calls are personal, and face-time is irreplaceable. Extending
your reach will not only enhance your practice, but expand your influence and
add value to your client’s experience. To aid in this process, POWERBAR has
developed a platform where nutrition and athletics leaders can access the
resources they need and create personal profiles. Based on expert
recommendations and current research, you’ll find:
- Sports nutrition PowerPoint presentations
- Sport-specific client handouts
- Video podcasts to update your knowledge on the latest research in sports
nutrition
- Stories from real athletes to help you stay on top of the latest trends
among your clients
- Online calculators: protein, sweat rate, recovery, fibre, and
activity/calorie for easy reference
In addition to having
evidence-based sports nutrition information and tools at your fingertips, you
can create a profile for yourself or your business to share with your clients.
To expand your cyber-reach, you can take POWERBAR’s nutrition information to all
your favorite social-networking sites and blogs with the Nutrition Widget. The
latest nutrition articles, athletes’ stories, and sporting news are delivered to
the widget automatically — wherever it is displayed. You also can stay in touch
with your clients and friends via blogs throughout POWERBAR’s online
communities.
Your online colleague: POWERCOACH™In addition to
POWERBAR’s nutrition tools, our training and nutrition experts <<link to
pep>>> have developed an easy-to-use online tool to help you guide your
athletes. POWERCOACH™ provides users total support, with 24/7 access to a
personal training calendar, workout logs, daily workout reminder emails, and
much more. POWERCOACH™ offers personalized sports nutrition and training plans
designed by RDs and fitness professionals. Users can select from running,
triathlon, cycling, swimming, and walking programs based on their experience and
their ultimate goal/distance — and additional training programs for
non-endurance sports are coming soon. In order to develop the unique training
programs found on POWERCOACH™, POWERBAR tapped the extensive knowledge of its
Team Elite athletes and coaches. This is a great way to get your athletes in
shape before the season even begins!
Unlike many existing programs that
offer simple, rule-of-thumb nutrition tips or information, POWERCOACH™ delivers
the personalized information necessary to successfully train and complete
athletic goals with as little or as much detail as the user requires. For those
looking for increased levels of scientific support and knowledge, there are
links to lots of helpful information and videos all over the site. Daily email
reminders are sent to users as well, keeping them informed about their exercise
requirements for the day, along with a sports nutrition tip from our
experts.
Available at www.powerbar.com/coach, POWERCOACH™ is another
example of how POWERBAR, a trusted source of sports nutrition, continues to be a
training partner for its athletes.
If your list of clientele includes
Ironman contenders — from the newbie age-grouper to the elite Kona competitor —
POWERBAR offers a 29-week Training & Nutrition Plan <<insert
link>>. This feature offers a complete training program that covers
everything an Ironman needs to know about training and sports nutrition. Top
athletes, researchers, and sports nutrition experts have created exclusive
content for Ironman participants, including Ironman-specific training advice and
in-depth sports nutrition information. Athletes can easily import this
mini-website tool into their own personal website or MySpace page.
