Why This Exists

Most Athletes Don’t Have a Nutrition System. Now Yours Does

Long school days, late practices, games, homework—something gets skipped, and it’s usually nutrition. This 8-week Critical Reload cycle gives your athlete a consistent, built-in way to refuel after training without putting more on your plate at home.

This program helps your athlete:

Get quality post-workout fuel when their body needs it most.
Stay stronger and more resilient through the season.
Reduce unnecessary weight loss, fatigue, and soreness

You’re not just buying a product-you’re plugging your athlete into a repeatable fueling system built into their training routine.

Parent Nutrition Survey

Why Your School Is Proposing This Solution

Your school is NOT offering Critical Reload randomly — it’s responding directly to what Perkins parents shared in the recent Sports Nutrition Survey.

Parents Want Guidance

More than half (58%) feel only moderately, slightly, or not knowledgeable about fueling athletes.

Want School Support

Nearly 79% want school-provided, practical nutrition guidance.

Buying Already

Most families already buy sports nutrition products — many doing so weekly and without oversight.

Money Already Spent

Many spend $20–$49 per month on products not chosen by the school.

Priorities Match Critical Reload

Quality, taste, and price were parents’ top priorities — all met here.

Bottom line: Perkins High School families want safer, clearer, school-supported fueling — and this program delivers exactly that.

What You Get

What this 8-Week Cycle Includes

When you enroll your athlete, you’re securing:

8 weeks of coverage built around the school’s training schedule
4 servings per week (32 total servings for the cycle)
Coach-managed distribution right after training sessions
School-supported fueling is used by serious programs

Unlike buying product and hoping it gets used, this program ensures your athlete receives their servings consistently at the exact time they need them most.

How It Works

Simple for parents. Structured for coaches

Here’s how the 8-week fueling cycle runs from your side and the school’s side:

STEP ONE

Enroll During the Open Window

Use this page to pre-order your athlete’s next 8-week fueling cycle. Your investment: $80 total for 8 weeks (4 servings per week).

STEP TWO

We Coordinate With the School

Based on how many parents enroll, Critical Reload ships the correct amount of product directly to the school. No extra ordering or inventory guessing for coaches

STEP ONE

Your Athlete Is Fueled at Training

Coaches and staff serve Critical Reload 4 times per week right after training sessions, so your athlete gets maximum benefit from each serving.

Timing

How the Enrollment Window Works

This program runs on fixed cycles so the school can stay organized, order the right amount of product, and keep things fair for all families.

When the Link Is Active
Enrollment is open. You can submit payment and reserve your athlete’s spot in the current 8-week cycle.

When the Link Appears but Doesn’t Work
Enrollment is closed for this cycle. Please check your email for the next purchasing window or revisit this page in approximately 6 weeks when the next cycle opens.

⚠️ No late sign-ups can be accepted once the window closes. The product is ordered strictly based on paid enrollments.

Staying Consistent

What Happens in Future Cycles?

We make it easy to stay in rhythm across the season:

During Week 6, you’ll receive a reminder to re-order the next 8-week cycle.
Enrollment stays open for one week so families can respond.
Orders open on Monday at 6:00 am EST and close on Sunday at midnight EST.
Product arrives in time, so your athlete doesn’t miss a week of servings.

This keeps the fueling station running smoothly and ensures your athlete has consistent support-not just a one-time boost.

Program Impact

Your Purchase Helps the Whole Team

Every serving doesn’t just fuel your athlete-it also helps fuel the entire program.

A portion of each purchase helps the school:

Support and grow strength and conditioning efforts
Maintain and expand the team fueling station
Make quality sports nutrition available to more athletes

Your investment supports your child and their teammates on and off the field.

Perspectives

Real Stories. Real People. Real Results

Hear directly from the people who matter most—parents, coaches, athletic directors, and athletes who use Critical Reload every day.

Parent's Perspective

It’s Comforting To Know It’s Safe

“As a parent, you want to support your growing child’s athletic and training goals. The challenge is knowing what’s safe for your child. Walk into any grocery store, and the shelves are full of nutritional supplements and protein powders. It’s comforting to know the school administrators have given my boys an age-appropriate nutritional product, Critical Reload.”

LAURA TURNER
Athlete Mom // Pediatric Healthcare Specialist

Coach's Perspective

Critical Reload Is ‘Simplicity’

“The Critical Reload system is nothing but simplicity. My kids come on campus at 7:30 in the morning, and they don’t leave until 6:00 in the evening. They can’t just eat lunch, and that be it. Critical Reload ensures they get the calories they need. Plus, it tastes great. Our kids love it! I tell coaches who ask about Critical Reload there is no reason not to do it!”

TOBIAS JACOBI
Head Strength Coach // Strong Rock Christian School

Athletic Director's Perspective

We’ve Seen Physical Changes

“Our kids would work out hard for many years, but we didn’t see results. Reviewing their diet and nutrition, we discovered they weren’t eating right in the mornings or after a workout. Once we started Critical Reload, our athletes could recover faster and go harder more often. Most exciting is watching our 9th graders from where they were 4-years ago and the physical changes they show today. That’s a testament to their hard work, good strength training, and Critical Reload.”

TOMMY WEBB
Athletic Director and Head FB Coach // Strong Rock Christian School

Athlete's Perspective

It Helped Me Get Stronger and Faster

“I’ve taken Critical Reload since 8th grade and I love the taste. Chocolate is my favorite! Critical Reload and my strength have taught me if you workout and don’t have the things to recover, you’re wasting your body away. Critical Reload has helped me grow stronger, faster, and bigger and that’s obviously helped me on the football field.”

SLADE THOMPSON
Student-Athlete // Senior Football Player

Real Value

A Better Investment Than a Single Fast-Food Meal

The full 8-week fueling cycle breaks down to just $10 per week. That’s four high-quality post-workout servings delivered right after training, exactly when your athlete needs it most.

Critical Reload

4 post-workout servings per week
Scientifically designed for recovery
Coach-managed & timed perfectly
Just $10.00 per week
= $2.50 per serving

Chick-fil-A #1 Combo

1 fast-food meal
High sodium & low recovery benefit
Gone in 10 minutes
$10-$12 per meal
= One-time meal vs. all-week recovery

For the same cost as one fast-food combo, your athlete gets four recovery-focused servings designed to improve strength, performance, and in-season resilience.

Low barrier, high return on investment.
