After becoming a RD (Registered Dietitian), Coach Kate then completed specialized training and work with athletes to sit for the exam to become a (Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics). That was in 2011.

Only a small number of RDs hold this prestigious certification. RD CSSDs are highly sought after at all levels of athletics.

Since 2011, Coach Kate has had to recertify to keep this credential by continuing work with athletes and retaking the exam every 5 years: 2011, 2016, 2021.

Last week marked the 4th time she has taken this test to keep her credential, and she passed to once again recertify as a CSSD!

Evidenced-based care blended with elite experience - that's what you get at

We would love to work with you and/or your athletes!
