About your expert
Jeanne Hendricks is a Board Certified Sports Dietitian who has spent 16 years helping athletes at every level figure out the piece their training plan was always missing: nutrition that actually works in real life. As a former Division I athlete, Jeanne competed without proper sports nutrition guidance and remembers vividly feeling drained and unlike herself, not understanding why her body was not keeping up. That experience turned into a lifelong commitment to making sure athletes she coaches never have to learn nutrition the hard way. In addition to her clinical expertise, requiring 2,000 hours of sports-specific dietetics practice beyond her RD credential and a board exam, Jeanne is known for her ability to connect with people. She delivers in-home visits, live workshops, and community presentations, meeting athletes where they live and train rather than waiting for them to come to a clinical setting. She works best with student-athletes and families navigating the demands of a busy life, helping them build practical, sustainable fueling strategies that fit their schedule, not an idealized version of it. As an athlete mom herself, Jeanne understands the real-world complexity of trying to fuel performance alongside school, practice, and everything else competing for an athlete's attention. If you want a coach who combines clinical excellence with genuine human connection, Jeanne Hendricks delivers both.
