Season kickoff talk

Come talk to my team.

One session with your athletes or your parents, at the start of a season, from a registered dietitian who head-coaches a Colorado high school distance program. Zoom by default, in person by arrangement.

$200added to Program Access — one session, athlete talk or parent night

Program Access is $250 for the year. The talk is $200 on top of that — one hour costs most of what the whole year costs, and it is over in an hour. If your school already has Program Access this season, you only pay for the talk.

This is a request, not a card payment. Nothing is charged and nothing is booked until a date is agreed and an invoice is sent.

One talk does not change a program.

A talk is one session. It is good at getting a whole roster to hear the same thing on the same day, and it is good at answering the questions parents are already asking in the parking lot. That is genuinely worth something at the start of a season.

What it does not do is follow through. Nobody is in the room in week six when your number three has flattened out, or on the Thursday before a Saturday race, or when a parent asks what to put in the meet bag. The talk ends and everyone goes back to what they were doing.

That is the entire reason Program Access exists, and it is why the talk is sold on top of the year instead of in place of it. If you only ever want the hour, this page is the honest version of that: an hour costs most of what the whole year does, because an hour is one person’s time and the year is a system that already exists.

Cheaper first: there is a five-minute team talk script on this site, free, written to be read word for word at practice. Run that before you spend anything.

Athletes and parents get different talks.

They are separate sessions because they are separate jobs. Athletes need to know what to do on Tuesday; parents need to know what to buy and when to call a clinician. $200 covers one of them. If you want both, say so in the request and you will get a straight answer on the date and the cost before anything is committed.

Athlete talk

30 to 45 minutes, at practice or in a team room

Food is training — why eating enough is the base under every workout on your schedule.
What to eat before an early practice, after a hard session, and on a race morning, using a real school-day timeline.
The Saturday meet: what to pack, what to do between races, what to do on a long bus ride.
Under-fuelling in plain language — what it costs a distance runner, and who to talk to when something feels off.
Questions, answered in front of the team.

Parent night

45 to 60 minutes, usually alongside a preseason parent meeting

What a full distance season asks of a teenager’s appetite, and why it goes up mid-season.
The grocery-cart version: what to keep in the house so your athlete can fuel themselves.
Race-morning breakfast and the Saturday meet bag, for families who are new to this.
When to call your pediatrician or a dietitian, and how to raise it with your athlete.
Questions — with a straight answer, or an honest “that one is a clinician’s call.”

Format

Zoom first. In person by arrangement.

Zoom is the default. It works from a team room with one screen, and it is the only format that lets a working parent join a parent night from their kitchen. It also means the date is easier to get.

In person by arrangement. Ask, and you will get an honest answer about whether the date and the drive work. In-season in-person dates are limited, because the person giving the talk is coaching his own team those afternoons.

Scheduling reality. Evenings and non-meet weekends are easiest. Afternoons during the fall are practice. Ask early and the preseason window is usually workable.

Boundaries

What this does not include.

Written out so nobody is surprised on the day.

No written report, program audit, or custom deliverable. You get the session and the year of access.
No individual athlete assessment. Nobody is evaluated, screened, or advised personally in a room of teenagers.
No testing of any kind — no body composition, no blood work, no sweat testing. Aspire does not sell testing, by policy, because the audience is minors.
No supplement amounts, protocols, or brand recommendations. Ever, in front of a team.
No standing follow-up beyond what Program Access already includes.

Individual assessment and treatment are separate from anything on this page. A family who wants that works with Luke one to one, and a family that needs eating-disorder care gets a named referral rather than a workaround.

What will never be said in front of your athletes

No supplement amounts and no lab thresholds — a clinician decides all testing and dosing.
No weigh-ins, body metrics, or weight-loss framing.
RED-S is taught as a concept plus a named referral path, never as a diagnosis a coach or a parent makes.
Iron questions route to the athlete’s physician. That is a policy, not a preference.
