Samuel Bullard, RD

Imagine performing at your peak every game, match, or competition. Having the energy to dominate in the fourth quarter, the stamina to outlast opponents, and the recovery to train harder tomorrow. This is what proper sports nutrition delivers, and it's completely achievable with the right guidance.

​

Too many athletes struggle with conflicting advice and overwhelming information. You're told to "eat clean" but that doesn't answer the real questions: What should I eat before a game? How do I build muscle without losing speed? How do I maintain energy through tournaments?

​

I'm Samuel Bullard, MS, RD, a Registered Dietitian who discovered my passion for sports nutrition through 13+ years of wrestling. Wrestling taught me that nutrition isn't just about "eating healthy" - it's about precision, timing, and strategy. I learned this watching teammates struggle with dangerous cutting practices, feeling my own energy crash during tournaments, and realizing the difference between winning and losing often came down to who fueled smarter, not just who trained harder.

​

Now I work with athletes across team sports, combat sports, and weight-class competitions. For the past 5 years, I've helped athletes master competition preparation, recovery optimization, and sustainable performance nutrition - turning nutrition from their biggest stressor into their competitive advantage.

​

My Approach

​

Whether you're a parent trying to fuel your young athlete or a competitor aiming to maximize your potential, I eliminate the guesswork. My focus: practical strategies that work with your training schedule and lifestyle, not against them.

​

What Makes Me Different

​

Wrestling demands everything: making weight without losing strength, having explosive power for six-minute matches, recovering between tournament rounds, and maintaining mental clarity under extreme pressure. Those 13+ years on the mat taught me to see nutrition as a competitive tool. If you can master nutrition for wrestling, you can optimize it for any sport.

​

This foundation gives me a unique perspective. I understand early morning practices, tournament weekends, playoff pressure, and the challenge of balancing performance with health. Every recommendation comes from both professional expertise and real experience in high-stakes competition.

​

My specialty includes weight-class athletes who need precise nutrition strategies and team sport athletes managing long seasons - from safe weight management to building functional strength to improving game-day stamina.

​

My Mission

​

Too many young athletes damage their long-term health chasing short-term performance. I'm here to show you that with proper nutrition, you can have both. My goal is simple: ensure athletes never have to choose between their health and their competitive goals.
