USA Fencing Partners with The Feed to Fuel Fencers’ Endurance

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — On the surface, fencing is a sport of quick bursts and intense flurries.

But talk to any fencer after a full day of competition, and they'll tell you it feels like a marathon, not a sprint. A single bout might be over in less than 10 minutes, yet a tournament day can stretch across a dozen bouts and hours on your feet.

The cumulative physical and mental toll is real — and that's why proper fueling is absolutely critical. Recognizing the crucial role nutrition plays in fencing performance, USA Fencing is proud to announce a new partnership with The Feed to help athletes stay energized, hydrated, and ready to fence at their best all day long.

The Feed is a fast-growing sports nutrition marketplace that has fueled athletes in some of the world's toughest endurance sports. (In fact, The Feed has partnered with other Olympic sports organizations, including USA Triathlon — a sport that knows a thing or two about the importance of fueling.)

Through The Feed, athletes can access over 300 brands of sports nutrition products, from energy gels and healthy snacks to hydration mixes and recovery supplements. Now, The Feed is bringing that expertise to the fencing strip, helping fencers treat their bodies like the endurance athletes they truly are.

As part of this partnership, USA Fencing members will receive a $60 credit to spend on TheFeed.com. Every USA Fencing member can use this credit like cash to stock up on nutrition essentials — whether it’s quick electrolytes between rounds, protein bars for sustained energy, or recovery drinks to recharge after the last bout.

Additionally, The Feed will be the proud sponsor of USA Fencing’s upcoming nutrition information series. This series of resources will cover everything from smart snacking during competitions to optimizing meal plans during training. By sharing expert guidance and real-life fueling strategies, USA Fencing and The Feed aim to educate athletes on how proper nutrition can be a secret weapon on the strip.

"We are thrilled to welcome The Feed into the USA Fencing family," says USA Fencing CEO Phil Andrews. "Fencing competition days can last from morning until night, and even the most skilled fencers need the right fuel to stay sharp through that very last bout.”

The partnership officially launches at the October North American Cup (NAC), taking place this weekend in Salt Lake City. With The Feed on board, USA Fencing is doubling down on athlete health and performance for fencers of all ages.
