MVP Academy
Equip your athletes with game-changing nutrition to up their game and teach them skills for a lifetime.
For parents, coaches, or medical professionals that want to connect your athlete to expert sports nutrition advice…
Too often, athletes are under-eating and worse yet, fueling themselves with junk food! They get up in the morning and skip breakfast, and you feel bad when you forget to pack their after-school snack. This leaves your athlete perpetually under-fueled, and you feel alone in helping them eat properly.
Whether your athlete is in high school or has just started competing at the collegiate level, I know it can feel like nutrition is the one piece that’s missing, and expert advice is nowhere to be found. There is a ton of misinformation out there when it comes to nutrition, and while at first it can seem complicated, you’ll find that it’s actually pretty simple. But building sound nutrition habits doesn’t happen overnight, and simply wasting money on meal plans and BCAA’s is NOT the answer.
You keep asking yourself the same question: Are we doing this right? Before you start to doubt yourself, let me share what I tell my MVP’s …
If you want to build sound nutrition habits that will last a lifetime AND get real results in body composition, energy, athletic performance, and recovery, then
you need a plan and guidance from an expert!
Hi, I’m Nicole Wempe, Registered Dietitian & Sports Nutrition Coach for High-Performing Teen Athletes
I have seven years of experience working with college, high school, and middle school athletes. In those seven years, I worked as a full-time Sports Dietitian at University of Kentucky and University of Illinois until I started my online private practice. I have worked with cross country and track, soccer, gymnastics, tennis, football, swimming, basketball, baseball, softball, golf, volleyball, sand volleyball, and cheer.
Now I spend my efforts working with athletes one-on-one in order to effectively create change in their lives so that when they graduate MVP Academy, they are equipped with game-changing nutrition knowledge and skills that will not only boost athletic performance, but will stick with them for a lifetime. And I can show you how. I’ve already helped hundreds of athletes do the same.

Why Choose MVP Academy?
I began my private practice working with parents and their high school athletes, preparing them for college. The athletes experienced a great deal of success, and parents were happy with the results. It is such a great feeling to change the life of an athlete through their nutrition. One of my athletes began breaking school records with the start of her season. Many are setting PR’s in the weight room over and over. Athletes experience huge increases in their overall energy, decreasing and in some cases eliminating, the need for naps. Not to mention, athletes see improved body composition throughout the program.
The athletes who fully participate in MVP Academy always graduate performing better than when they started. They have improved energy, focus, body composition, recovery, strength, and endurance because they’re getting the practical one-on-one guidance needed to create impactful, lasting change – which has been my duty from the beginning. The coaching, teaching, and resources provided by MVP Academy have already helped hundreds of athletes, so I know they will help yours too.
Now, I invite you and your athlete to start their nutrition journey. It’s time to start getting real results … and get you that D1 scholarship.
Frequently Asked Questions
About Our MVP Academy Program
How long does it take to complete the program?
We ask for a 12-month commitment during which we will periodize nutrition around training, and ensure your athlete is able to fuel properly no matter what season of life they’re in!
How fast can we expect to see results?
Most athletes start to experience results in 8 weeks or less.
Who is the MVP Academy for?
Adolescent athletes (age 12-23) who demonstrate dedication to their sport, and are eager to learn, grow, and improve their skills.
What support do we get if we need extra help?
Regular meetings and check-ins throughout the month provide ample opportunity to ask questions and pivot goals, but we also offer 24/7 access to Nicole for any nutrition-related questions in between meetings.
What if my athlete has food allergies or intolerances?
Since the program is individualized, and Nicole has years of experience tailoring to allergen needs, you can feel rest-assured your athlete will have a program unique to those needs.
What if my athlete is a picky eater?
Picky eaters are a bit limited in the variety of foods they can eat, but Nicole has worked with many picky athletes. Together, we can find a solution that not only provides adequate fuel, but also gets the athlete outside their comfort zone on their way to broadening their palate.
What if my athlete is injured?
While sad and disappointing, injuries are still a great time to get started with nutrition. We can tailor the program to meet healing needs and match activity level. Then, once the athlete starts to transition back to full participation, we can adjust nutrition recommendations to meet those needs on the way.
Do you accept insurance?
At this time, we do not accept insurance. BUT, we can accept Health Savings Account (HSA) payments which has been a great option for some of our MVP’s!
What if my athlete is vegan/vegetarian?
We believe that success can be achieved with a variety of dietary preferences, and we are not strangers to working with vegan/vegetarian athletes. In fact, we encourage you to sign your vegan/vegetarian athletes up so we can ensure they are getting the nutrients and calories they need.
Let’s make your athlete an MVP.
What Others Are Saying
Testimonials from Our Athletes, Coaches, and Parents
“We’ve worked together for 6 months. He plays baseball. Dalton has gained weight – which is what he wanted; but it’s important to me that he has gained some important nutrition knowledge and takes more responsibility for his food (and liquid calorie) intake. He actually gives thought to what he should eat, is able to estimate calories and keeps track (even if it’s mental tracking) of his daily calories. He has grown in taking personal responsibility for his goals and doing what is needed to achieve them.”
“I’m a middle distance track runner. I started working with Nicole 5 months ago because I had developed shin splints. We met every other week and worked on increasing my calorie intake to meet my demands, which helped me have a regular menstrual cycle for the first time in years.”
“Nicole has been working with my 14 year old gymnast daughter for the past 6 months. My daughter was already health conscious, but was losing weight and had low energy during training. Nicole’s step by step approach was the magical solution that helped my daughter to gradually increase her calories with healthy options. My daughter’s energy and weight returned to normal. She has a great handle on how to properly fuel her body. I completely trust Nicole and the special coach/athlete relationship she developed with my daughter over the past several months.”
“I worked with Nicole for about 6 months from January to August. I run cross country and track and play basketball. Although, my main focus is on running. Since I started working with Nicole, I’ve seen huge strides in my overall energy. Her program has been extremely beneficial, especially during my track season in April and May and now even into early cross country season. When I first came to Nicole, I was under eating pretty severely for the amount of activity I did every day. She helped me learn and remember that I needed those extra calories to function and get to the level that I truly want to be in running (hopefully the collegiate level). She was with me every step of the way, and is such a great person overall.”
“I have worked with Nicole since August, and since then she has helped me focus on fueling my body for my training and my goals. I am a strength and conditionoing coach, so I have the training side down, but the nutrtition piece is something I needed some guidance with. I have always struggled with gaining weight, but something I really wanted was to go through a muscle building phase. So since August, we have been slowly increasing cals and I have put on ~20 lbs at a steady pace and I feel the strongest I ever have. I have always been trying to be smaller and diet, but Nicole helped me build confidence to build muscle and gain some weight, because ultimately, it will result in a stronger me! And I am so pleased with how this muscle building phase has gone. Nicole helped me with goal setting and getting back on track anytime I may have strayed away from my goals.”
