dream team contest prep
where natural athletes rise.
DREAM TEAM PREP is an elite competition coaching experience built by women, for women—designed exclusively for natural athletes who want to step on stage with confidence, strength, and purpose.
We focus on science-based programming, precise nutrition strategy, and expert stage presentation, paired with the support and camaraderie of a powerful community of women who share the same goal.
From first-time competitors to seasoned pros, our athletes are guided through every phase—from off-season development to stage-ready conditioning—with a sustainable, no-nonsense approach that puts health and longevity first.
This is more than a prep team—it’s a movement for women redefining what it means to compete naturally, confidently, and unapologetically.
Leading the Way for Natural Athletes
Head Coach Jennifer Kersten, team lead and founder of Dream Team Prep, has been coaching competitors since 2001—bringing hundreds of women to the stage as natural athletes across both tested federations and open competitions. With decades of experience and a deep understanding of female physiology, Jennifer has helped her athletes step into the winner’s circle while shifting the narrative around what’s possible for women in bodybuilding.
At Dream Team Prep, we prove that elite physiques can be built naturally—without performance-enhancing drugs, extreme restriction, or burnout. Using science-driven, evidence-based protocols, Jennifer and her team empower women to rise, redefine the standard, and embody what true strength and sustainability look like on and off the stage.
Jennifer’s philosophy goes beyond peak week or stage day—it’s about building resilient athletes who thrive year-round. Every program emphasizes post-show recovery, reverse dieting, metabolic restoration, and structured off-season phases, ensuring each athlete’s body, hormones, and mindset are supported for the long game.
By following a seasonal coaching model rooted in science and experience, Dream Team athletes learn how to optimize performance, sustain results, and evolve with intention—proving that natural bodybuilding can be both elite and sustainable.
the dream team coaches.
At Dream Team Prep, every athlete benefits from the collective experience, dedication, and passion of a team that truly lives the process.
Coach Shannyn Creekmore, an established IFBB Bikini Pro, has been coached by Head Coach Jennifer Kersten since 2013—a partnership spanning over a decade of transformation, evolution, and purpose-driven growth. From her first shows to the professional stage, Shannyn’s journey reflects the power of long-term coaching, science-based programming, and the trust that fuels elite results. Her insight into posing, conditioning, and the mental demands of competition provides unmatched value to athletes aspiring to reach the next level.
Coach Devre, an accomplished Bikini Champion and long-time Dream Team athlete, began her journey with Jennifer in 2021. Her progression from athlete to coach showcases what’s possible through education, accountability, and the steady pursuit of excellence. Known for her compassionate yet precise coaching style, Devre helps women find confidence not only in their physiques but in the process itself.
Together, Shannyn and Devre embody what Dream Team Prep stands for: education, experience, and empowerment. They are living examples of what long-term coaching relationships can create—women who rise, stay grounded, and bring others with them.
This is more than coaching.
It’s mentorship, trust, and the proof that with the right guidance, natural athletes don’t just compete—they rise.
core beliefs and values.
At Dream Team Prep, we believe that success on stage starts long before peak week — and extends far beyond it. Our philosophy is built on integrity, education, and the understanding that you can be both disciplined and human.
Flexible Nutrition, Structured Strategy
We use a flexible dieting approach with the option for structured meal plans when needed. Some athletes thrive on autonomy with macros, while others prefer simplicity during prep when food focus becomes overwhelming. Both paths are valid — and both are supported.
Budget-Friendly, Realistic Coaching
Competing is already expensive — your coaching shouldn’t cost as much as your mortgage. We offer a monthly baseline rate with seasonal adjustments during prep phases, so athletes can plan and budget sustainably while maintaining year-round support.
Individualized Cardio & Training
No timelines. No cookie-cutter protocols. Cardio and training are prescribed based on need, not arbitrary deadlines. We prioritize recovery, nervous system health, and performance — not burnout. You won’t find junk volume here, only purposeful programming designed for your body and your goals.
Health First, Always
We will never put a client on stage if their health is compromised. Mental and physical well-being are non-negotiable. If an athlete is struggling, we address it — openly, compassionately, and responsibly. Competing should enhance your life, not consume it.
Discipline Meets Balance
We believe in doing the work — prepping your food, showing up for every session, and giving your all — while still living a full, connected life. Family, finances, and health come first. A true winner’s mindset is built on consistency, not extremes.
The Dream Team Standard
Every prep is unique, every athlete individual. Our standard is simple: integrity, transparency, and results that last. Because being a champion isn’t just about how you look under the lights — it’s about how you live when the lights go out.
