Welcome to Episode 77 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring Betsi Flint, a professional beach volleyball player on Team USA.
Betsi is a 6-time Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) Champion and holds a number of other awards and accolades, including gold and silver medals at several International Volleyball Federation games. She is currently training for the 2024 Paris Olympics and is ranked 9th in the world, after her recent 9th place finish at World Champs! She also has a 2-year old daughter, who joined us a few times throughout the episode, because toddlers definitely don’t care about podcast recordings or locked doors, which is totally fine. I’ve been there myself many times!
Betsi and I chat about her nutrition experiences as an athlete training for the Olympics, and the steps she has taken to balance her career and professional dreams with motherhood. We also explore how her nutrition has evolved since she was a younger athlete, including overcoming a period of restrictive, rigid eating behaviors in favor of the more flexible and fully fueled approach she follows today.
I hope you enjoy this one and for my fellow busy parent athletes out there, I think you’ll find our discussion helpful and relatable.
