[quote=Anonymous]Sleep, hydration and nutrition could keep him more comfortably where he is or get him to the next level. I have a lot of regrets about my swim career that revolve around nutrition and sleep. I was not fueling sufficiently and became injury prone. I was constantly fatigued in a way that no amount of sleep or taper could overcome. Count his calories and macros for a week or two- it’s likely that he is not getting enough calories. There is a nutritionist who does nutrition for female gymnasts called the Gymnast Nutritionist. She is focused on sufficient energy and calories, not clean/“healthy” living, which I think is the right approach for vulnerable teens in body-conscious sports. My DD is a gymnast and got a ton of benefit from her workshops- she is well-trained and not a rando on the internet. If you don’t have the name of a swimming-oriented nutritionist, I would message her on Instagram and ask for a recommendation. [/quote]
