Performance Nutrition

Do you know exactly how much protein you should consume per day? If you take creatine, are you taking the right amount for your weight and lean body mass, or are you just taking what the prescription says on the bottle? Athletes and coaches are often misled or misinformed as to what effects popular supplements have on the body and how one should really use them. Therefore, proper education and instruction can greatly enhance an athlete's ability to safely achieve optimal nutritional consumption.

Dietary intake is another component that is extremely important for athletic success. Athletes must consume the correct amount of calories in the proper nutrient ratios specific to their particular sport and position, body type, and training schedule. Safe and accurate methods for weight loss/gain, maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance, supplementation and the use of performance enhancing aids should also be understood and used by the athlete. Furthermore, athletes must know how to fuel their bodies before, during, and after training, practices, and competitions. This will ensure sufficient energy stores for intense training and recovery between workouts.
