I’ve been flooded with emails this week filled with specific nutrition questions, players, parents and coaches sharing their own nutrition stories, and touching emails of support from those of you that watched my McDiet video (thank you). 

I’m going to cut to the chase here…

=>  You need this program.

I desperately needed this program when I was a young player and I would have happily spent the $30 to know that I had the exact information I needed to make sure I was on the right track with my nutrition and on my way to taking my performance to the next level - instead of spending years doing the wrong things and suffering the consequences in the way I felt and the way I played.

I want to make things easier for you.

I don’t want you to make the same mistakes I made.

Your friend and coach,

Kim

Today, I want to answer the #1 question I’ve been getting from players, parents and coaches like you about this female-specific and hockey-specific nutrition program.

:::  Is the Nutrition Program Right For Me (Or My Daughter)?

First, let me tell you who Game-Winning Nutrition ISN’T for…

If you already know exactly how much you need to eat and drink, based on the amount of activity you are doing and the intensity of the level you are doing it at, then this isn’t for you.

Knowing what to eat - and what to avoid at all costs, when to eat - and when you absolutely should not be eating, is not as simple as it might seem, especially if you are running around playing multiple sports, participating in gym class, and having two or three athletic activities in one day.  That’s a lot
of energy going out - and you need to make sure you are getting enough of the right kinds of fuel back in. 

I did the research when I was a young player, trying to figure out exactly what I should be doing with my nutrition to maximize my performance, but I really had NO IDEA if I was on the right track. One magazine would say one thing, I’d see something else on TV, my friends would try to tell me something else - so I ended up confused and frustrated.

But even worse than the frustration and confusion was the fact that I was constantly tired, hungry and getting injured all the time.

I thought I was on the right track with my nutrition but the reality was I was sabotaging my performance by…

… eating the wrong foods (which I thought were healthy but really weren’t)
… at the wrong times (I had no clue when I should eat to perform my best)
… and not eating the right amount to fuel my peak performance.

I’ll be honest with you…

I fell victim to the same “messages” we see in the media constantly about how “thin is in” and the “skinny size zeros” have an advantage in life.

I knew I was never going to be tiny - I’m half Ukrainian and half Scottish. In fact, I am one of those people who looks at a weight and gets bigger.

But I was very conscious of what I was and wasn’t eating.  I thought I was eating enough of the right kind of foods at the right time - but I was lost in a sea of misinformation and negative messages.

I don’t want that to happen to you, your daughter or your players.

I know how sensitive the issue of nutrition and body image with all girls, and it’s especially challenging with young female athletes. I’ve lived it - and I made enough mistakes to know that I don’t want any other players to suffer the way I did.

I wish I had access to a program like Game-Winning Nutrition when I was younger.  I look through the information Rita and Cathy created and I think about how much easier figuring all this nutrition stuff would have been if I had this kind of step-by-step guide to follow.

::  If you are a 12 year old player who wants to know what you are supposed
to (and not supposed to) eat to perform your best….

::  Or a 16 year old player looking for any way to get an edge on your competition…

::  If you are a parent who is worried about how you are going to address nutrition
with your daughter because you aren’t sure how to navigate the whole teenage
body image issue…

::  Or a coach who wants to make sure that your team has the energy they need to perform their best during this critical time of year filled with playoff games and big tournaments…

This is the program for YOU.

If you think you’ve already got it covered, you might want to think again.

I was sure I was on the right track in high school and even into college, and I now realize that even though all of the right information was out there, it was clouded by all the wrong information that keep throwing me off the right track.

This is a critical point of the season for most players and teams.

::  Whether you are in the heart of the playoffs…

::  Getting ready for the biggest tournaments of the year…

::  Starting to think about how you are going to standout at tryouts…

::  Or you just want to get any advantage you can on the competition…

=>  Your nutrition is a critical piece of your performance puzzle.

It’s one of those “little things”  that makes a HUGE difference.

Access to Game-Winning Nutrition at this low introductory price is only available until Friday at 6PM EST.  After that, the doors are closed and your opportunity to get a serious advantage will be gone.

PS - Check out this great email from a player who used Game-Winning Nutrition:

“Thanks to this program, I’ve changed the way I prepare for each game!!!   I really took to heart everything about what foods to eat before and after a game.   At first I was not too sure it would work, but then I found that eating the right foods really boosted my energy and helped me recover from games much faster, especially drinking all that water.  I never used to drink so much water before a game.  I was afraid that it would slow me down but I found that having water really improved my stamina by about the 3rd period.”

This is a little embarrassing.  Even if you’ve only been part of the Total Female Hockey community
for a few weeks, you know all about the mistakes I made when it  came to training off the ice on my way up to the next level.

I did too much, too soon, with no foundation in place, and ultimately ended up permanently tired, injured and frustrated.

But there is another BIG mistake I made when I was a young player that I rarely share with anyone.

I sometimes bring it up when I do my live seminars and camps, but even then, I get really emotional about it and I usually don’t tell the full story because I am worried that I might cry right there
on stage (I know that sounds sappy, but it’s true).

I may have screwed up my off-ice training pretty badly when I was looking for ways to get an advantage on my competition as a young player, but I screwed up my NUTRITION even more.

::  Oh boy, did I screw up my NUTRITION.

From the time I was 12 to the time I was 22 (OK even until I was 25), I was all over the place with my nutrition and I think it had an even bigger, and more negative effect, than my misguided training did.

I thought I was doing what was BEST for my health and performance…

But the truth is…

=>  I had NO IDEA what I was doing.

It would take me pages and pages of writing to tell you the full story…

So I decided to make a video instead.

Watch Kim’s McDiet video here:

http://totalfemalehockeyclub.com/video-sample/nutrition_story/

I’m finally going to tell my entire nutrition story…

Even though it is one of the hardest things for me to do…

Because I know that if it will help at least one young player avoid making the same mistakes I did, it will all be worth it.

So here we go - the McDiet video that has been 15 years in the making:

Ever since I started Total Female Hockey in 2008, players, parents and coaches have been asking me
for nutrition advice.

::  What to eat before playoff games?
::  How to keep your energy up during a tournament?
::  What to eat if you have to eat fast-food?
::  How much water to drink (and whether sports drinks are OK)?

And I’ve tried my best to answer all of your questions.  But the truth is…I’m NOT a nutritionist.

But I do happen to know TWO very smart nutritionists, who also happen to be hockey moms of some very successful young female hockey players, and I knew that we had to bring a female-specific, hockey-specific nutrition program to people like you - who are looking for every advantage you can get over the competition, who know that nutrition is critical, but like me, don’t know exactly what you should and shouldn’t be doing to maximize your performance.

So after 15 months of going back and forth, fueled by these two nutritionists decades of experience and tremendous expertise, I can finally give you the nutrition program that you’ve been looking for to take your game to the next level.

Game-Winning Nutrition was specifically created by Cathy Williamson and Rita Wyczynski for the serious player who is ready to do what it takes to become the best player possible.

They’ve taken all the complex and confusion nutrition information that’s out there and simplified it so that you have a step-by-step guide to fuel your peak performance on the ice.

I know this question is a little bit ironic since today is US Thanksgiving, and if you live south of the border, you’ll probably eat enough food today to last you the entire weekend.

But weight and body image are such a big issue for girls’ and women’s hockey players of all ages, that I had to write this to you today.

Unlike boys’ hockey players who all want to grow up to be 6′2" and 200lbs, we don’t want to or need to be muscle-bound, heavy or big to compete at the highest level of our sport.  In fact, sometimes being a bigger player in the female game works against you.  I remember getting more than a few penalties back in high school and college when much smaller players ran into me and fell over, and I ended up in the box.

Back when I played in college and in the elite women’s hockey leagues here in Canada, I weighed 165lbs and am just slightly less than that now.  I have absolutely no problem telling people how much I weigh now… but it was a much touchier subject back when I was growing up.

I was always a big kid growing up (a fat kid really) and throughout high school and college, I definitely found myself being consumed by the numbers on the scale.  I knew I was never going to be 120lbs, but like most of the girls I knew, I was very concerned about how much I weighed.

I wouldn’t have been comfortable telling people what I weighed back then.  It wasn’t that I was embarrassed, it was just that most of my close friends, whether they were hockey players or not, were much smaller than me.  To be honest, I just wanted to fit in - and I also wanted to be the best player possible. 

I knew that I had to train hard off the ice and fuel my body with high-energy food so that I could compete at the highest level possible, but there was always that little voice in the back of my mind saying that I was too big and that I would play better, and look better, if I was smaller.

No one told me that directly - but I watched TV and read magazines, I saw that most of the "cute" girls looked like they were the size of my leg. We are constantly seeing images of "super-skinny size zero"celebrities and there are far too many "Next Top Model" and weight loss shows on TV. Research shows that that 55% of 16-year-old girls believe they are too fat, when in reality, only 20% of them are even overweight. 

These stats and these shows raise a serious red flag about how this "ideal" body image influences girls’ hockey players.

Players are always asking me how they can make their legs smaller and get rid of their muscles. This obviously isn’t going to work to their advantage physically, but it is even more damaging psychologically.

Despite what girls see in the fashion magazines and on TV, there aren’t many women who are 5 foot 9 and weigh 100 pounds. 
And there definitely aren’t any elite female players that fit this "ideal" - the average weight on the National Team is around 150 pounds.

I could try to sit here and tell you to never worry about your weight again and know that the number on the scale has absolutely nothing to do with your ability as a player or your worth as a person.

But I know that my influence is tiny compared to the power of mainstream media.  I wish I didn’t have to listen to young players
talking about how "fat" they are (when they aren’t) and worrying so much about how they look in their jeans.

But I also know exactly what it’s like to be a 15 year old girl who just wants to fit in and I can’t blame girls for this type of behavior.

I hope that by talking about this issue with players, parent and coaches in this way, and on a daily basis, that I empower just one or two girls to know that it is OK to be a strong, powerful woman and that training and  competing in the sport you love is much more important than your jean size.

Keep Working Hard, Dreaming BIG and Being Strong.

I have something a little embarrassing to admit. Back when I first started playing girls hockey at the age of 13, I was about 6 inches shorter than I am now and weighed 10 pounds more (I am 5 foot 9 and 160 pounds). To be honest, I was a fat little square. Even though my McDiet led to me being 25 pounds overweight, it was still better than the alternative.
(more…)

This really makes me mad.

Why is that people who choose the “healthy option” are judged as though they are some kind of freak?

Why is it when you have a salad with chicken and a piece of fruit for lunch, people assume that you are on a “diet”?

Why do people think that choosing to eat healthy somehow means that you think you are better than others?

Why is it cool to eat like crap?

(more…)

You’ve spent your entire hockey season preparing to peak in time for the playoffs. The last thing you want to do waste all the hard work you put in on the ice by not taking proper care of your playoff nutrition off the ice.
(more…)

I would guess that the majority of girls hockey players are not taking in enough high-quality fuel to give them the energy they need to perform on and off the ice.

When I was 13 years old, I was taking in more than enough calories to fuel my on-ice performance, but none of it was high quality fuel.
(more…)

When it comes to hockey nutrition, girls hockey players know that they shouldn’t be eating a Twinkie right before they hit the ice. If you want to become an elite female hockey player, you’ve got to eat healthy and give your body the high quality fuel it needs to perform its best. But does that mean that you can never eat anything “unhealthy” again?
