Description

Learn a proven nutrition and weight management system—become a Weight Cut Specialist.

Our mission with this certification is to create opportunities for coaches, improve the safety of weight cutting, and offer nutrition strategies for achieving better performance and results for your clients (or yourself).

Why every nutritionist and combat-sports coach should become WCS certified

Missing weight for a fight is a problem in combat sports. If a fighter doesn’t make weight, their fight could get canceled, or they give up 20-percent of their purse. Even worse, they could get cut from the promotion.

  • Weight Cut Specialists know how to get fighters on weight safely and effectively without compromising health or performance. You will learn a proven system for cutting weight presented in easy-to-follow sequential steps.

Misinformed coaches are everywhere and their strategies can put fighters’ health at risk.

  • When the pressure is on and the stakes are high, you don’t want to have any doubts about your approach. The WCS system has been proven at the highest levels of sport, so you can coach with confidence.

Most nutrition programs are built around fads or highly prescriptive diets that don’t consider the individual’s unique needs.

  • This certification will teach you how to think critically and tailor nutrition programs that match the unique needs of each client.

Even well-educated nutrition coaches can learn more about how to apply their knowledge in real-world situations

  • The strategies and methods that Lockhart and Leith have learned in the corner of champions is a powerful supplement to your existing nutritional education. You won’t just learn about the science of nutrition, but how to apply your knowledge effectively with real clients—whatever situations may arise

Even fighters who make weight could be performing short of their potential due to poorly executed nutrition and weight management strategies.

  • Whether you’re working with an amateur MMA fighter or a UFC title contender, they deserve nutrition coaching that gives them every chance to fulfill their dream. Even more importantly, they deserve a coach who knows how to prioritize health, safety, and performance throughout the process.
