Program access
Your coaches and your families can ask a real question and get a real answer back. Not one team meeting in August. Not one article somebody found online. All season.
Who it covers
One school. Cross country and track. Every coach on your staff. Every family on your roster, through your team code.
One price for the year. No seats to count.
Ask
Type it the way you would say it. These examples show the kinds of general questions Aspire can address.
Coach
“She has been flat for two weeks. Where do I start?”
Coach
“We load the bus at 5:45am. What do they eat?”
Parent
“He will not eat breakfast before a meet. Is that a problem?”
Coach
“A parent asked me about iron. What am I allowed to say?”
Coach
“Team dinner is Thursday. What do I order for forty kids?”
Coach
“It is 92 degrees at Saturday’s meet. What changes?”
Parent
“She skipped lunch again. Do I say something?”
Coach
“My freshman is doubling for the first time. What goes in the bag?”
Email a general education or implementation question any day of the week. A registered dietitian responds within 2 business days. Individual athlete assessment and treatment stay in separate 1:1 care.
This is general nutrition education for your program. It is not an emergency line and it is not a diagnosis. If an athlete needs to be assessed and treated as an individual, that is separate care, and you will be told so plainly.
Who answers
The person who answers coaches a Colorado high school distance program and is a registered dietitian. Same job as you, plus the credential.
So the answer already accounts for a bus at 6am, a meet at altitude, a kid who has third-lunch, and a parent who read something scary last night.
Each week
You do not have to build anything. Prep is about five minutes. Skip a week and nothing breaks.
See week one firstWritten and ready. Copy it, put your name on it, send it.
Read it at the end of practice. No prep, no slides.
A page or a link the kids and parents can keep.
The season
You are not opening a search box in week six. Week one begins with the first operating job, and each track places championship work where its schedule needs it. Pick the season you are coaching and the weeks are in order. See all three seasons on one page.
Fall operations from preseason inventory through travel, championships, and handoff. Open the cross country weeks

Your families
You send one code to the roster. Parents use it to open their own access at home, on their own phone. They can ask questions too.
No extra charge and no per-family price, for as long as your program is active. The nutrition talk your athletes hear at practice is the one their parents read at the kitchen table.
Where we stop
We wrote the line down so you can hand it to an athletic director or a parent without editing it.
Read the standardWhat to watch for, and who to hand it to. You act. You do not diagnose.
The sentences to use about food and bodies, and the ones that do damage.
Email a general implementation question and receive a response within two business days. Email is not monitored for emergencies.
First Tuesday of the month, 7:00pm MT. Ten minutes on one operating topic — heat, travel, race week, team meals — then your questions. Pass the link to your families. General education only; anything about one athlete goes to 1:1 care.
$250/year covers cross country and track, every coach on staff, and the families on your roster. A one-hour talk is over by dinner — ours is $200 added on top of the year, which is most of what the year itself costs.
Rather talk to a person first? Book fifteen minutes. Buying through the school office? Ask for an invoice or a PO.
