The nutrition development program is geared towards healthy living and lifestyle. Programs can be used to help an athlete gain weight, lose weight, tone up or bulk up; as well as help non-athletes diet and exercise to improve their personal health. Education about healthy eating habits, nutrition information and proper daily habits will be a large part. The program is not only designed to compliment the Athlete Development Program and Personal Development Program above, but also stand alone for non-athletes.
Nutrition is one of the most important factors to a healthy lifestyle. Whether you are an athlete or not, your nutrition habits will dictate your physical and mental performance every day. Taking the time to educate yourself is absolutely critical to Perform as your IDEAL self!
Many college athletes and students struggle with managing their nutrition once they make the transition to independence. Not all Universities or athletic programs are fortunate enough to have a dietitian or licensed professional working with their students or student athletes. It is important that you have a good idea of what you need and how to listen to what your body is telling you every day. Therefore, we at IDEAL Performance have developed this summer course to help you prepare.
Our expert licensed dietitian, Tami, will take you through five weeks of critical information. She has designed a comprehensive curriculum to make sure you all are well prepared for what lies ahead. The environment will also be designed for open discussion and questions, so you can be sure to address all of your concerns and curiosities. You will enjoy hands on activities and even some food preparation, all included in your registration!

Tami Schiltz
Registered Dietitian
Tami Schiltz grew up playing sports. Her love for being active led her into getting her bachelor’s degree from UW-La Crosse in Exercise & Sport Science. After struggling with body image, periods of undereating and then overeating – which led to her 40-pound weight gain in college, Tami knew that she couldn’t exercise her way out of her eating behaviors. She went on to get her master’s degree in Clinical Nutrition and became a Registered Dietitian. Tami is incredibly passionate about helping people of all ages feel and perform their best, but definitely has a soft spot for empowering student athletes and teens through nutrition education.
Tami’s Nutrition Philosophy:
Having worked with a variety of people of different ages, interests, backgrounds, preferences, and habits, Tami understands that nutrition needs to be individualized. Through her personal experience, she has also learned that it takes time to figure out what works best for someone and even that can change over time. Because of that she feels it is important to approach nutrition behavior changes with curiosity rather than judgement. With an open mind and a willingness to explore and learn from set-backs, positive changes are bound to show up for clients.
Tami believes that life and food should be enjoyed and that’s why she follows a “Freedom Within Boundaries” approach with her clients. She will help you find a way to include the foods you love, in a way that supports your goals. Tami doesn’t want to tell you what to do or what to eat, but rather empower you to want to make choices that fuel your body and help you make progress towards your goals. If you are on board with that, then set up a time to connect and get started on your personalized nutrition plan.
