The Next9Up Wellness Program was designed under the premise of Body – Mind – Soul – Spirit Athletics and Wellness.

In order to be a strong athlete, you must be balanced in all aspects of your life. When you are not

balanced, you are prone to injury, unhealthy lifestyle, habits that can harm your body and mind, and you will not compete at your best level.

You can follow the Next9Up website heading for your athletic training under Teammates & Coaches. On this Wellness tab, you will find other ways to help you in preparation mentally, physicaly, and spiritually.

You can find this through ways of recovery and nutrition. Meet some of our teammates who will help our athletes on their journey in being a strong, balanced athlete.

Jessica Corndell is the owner of Corndell Kitchen and Cardio, and helps her clients as a fitness instructor, Sports Nutrition Specialist, and Health Coach. She specializes in helping athletes use food for fuel.

Everyone's story is unique and individual situations are different, but ultimately her core beliefs include:
• Food is medicine.
• Moving your body is necessary.
• Healthy practices can become daily habits.
• Self-care is essential, not luxurious.

Earlier in her career, Jessica found a home teaching at a middle school and making positive impacts on students for many years. However, being an athlete piqued her interest to marry her love of teaching with healthy life training.  She made a life-changing decision to step back from her career in education and became a trainer in Muay Thai Kickboxing and weight training classes while continuing her education in Sports Nutrition.

Soon after she started Corndell Kitchen and Cardio to focus more on guiding individuals on how to build and sustain healthy lifestyles. Being an athlete, she understood the choices good food decisions made in the outcome of performance and training. Jessica teaches her clients how to compete with optimal power by learning how to properly fuel their bodies.
