We couldn’t be more proud of the performances of these girls at 2018 State Championships.
So many personal bests and the way these girls faced the challenge and remained focused throughout the competition was amazing to witness.
To rank with the states best and show improvement beyond belief in the areas that have challenged them is a credit to their dedication to training and personal drive.
Thank you girls for the opportunity to be part of your journey, to witness your ups and downs, your growth, determination and personal commitment.
We have arrived at the Gymnastics Queensland High Performance Centre in Brisbane today for Leading Edge Ability Testing ahead of the girls competing on Monday.
What a pleasure it was to meet Rianna Mizzen our own Australia Commonwealth Games Champion for the girls to undertake their testing with.
The girls did so well with some significant improvement on their previous results!!
Amazing for the girls to reset their goal with the other high performing gymnasts in this state.

We receive a lot of questions around suitable nutrition and dietary demands for Gymnasts. Here we provide some advice from recent conferences that we have attended with sports dietitians on good eating habits for gymnasts.
There are numerous resources and beliefs regarding nutrition. We do recommend if you have any questions that you refer these to a qualified Sports Dietitian registered with Sports Dietitians Australia.
You can also check out SDA’s Nutrition for Gymnastics recommendations at the link: Food for your sport – Gymnastics or their Food For Gymnastics Factsheet.
Gymnastics Australia recently released this article on Nutrition for Gymnasts: http://gymnastics.org.au/GA/Posts/News_Articles/2018/09_Sep/Nutrition_during_training.aspx
The body only absorbs proteins in small quantities from each meal. Protein is a critical part of soft tissue recovery. It is recommended that gymnasts have an intake of 4-6 meals a day containing 20 grams of protein each. This is to aid muscle recovery and development.
What does 20g of protein look like?
Meals should be balanced. Using the ideal meal plate model this means 50% vegetables or salads, 25% Low GI carbohydrates and, 25% lean proteins.
Whole foods are recommended over packaged foods. Consider replacement of packaged foods with the real alternative. Whole fruits, cut raw vegetable sticks, boiled eggs, lean meats are a great alternative to packaged foods.
Muscle cramps are often associated with lack of hydration or sodium deficiency.
Sports drinks are not recommended due to their high sugar levels. Hydrolyte sachets are a consideration in extreme circumstances. Water and a good balanced diet is strongly recommended over supplements.
Avoid packaged snacks where possible with replacement for whole foods.
Juice poppers can be replaced with a piece of fruit and water. Be aware of the sugar levels in packaged drinks.
Some great snacks may include:
Avoid Packaged foods, Packaged fruits in syrups, foods high in fats, high sugar muesli bars, juice poppers (high in sugar), packaged “Veggie Straws”, Nutella, Packets of Chips.
❤️❤️❤️
A brilliant video on the life lessons from gymnastics.
