Performance Over Appearance: The Impact of Body Ideals in Sport w/ Katie Spada

Katie Spada is a former elite synchronized swimmer. As with many sports, the pressure of athletic body ideals and to "look" a certain way as an artistic swimmer was strong, which led to disordered eating patterns while she was competing and continued even after her competitive career ended. With time, education, and support, not only did Katie redefine her relationship with food and movement but she's now a Registered Dietitian helping other former athletes find food freedom, address body image concerns, and adapt to life after sport. Katie is the owner of Spada Strong Nutrition LLC and @FuelingFormerAthletes, which educates and empowers athletes on all of these topics during their transition out of competitive sport.
