As strength or performance coaches, it’s easy to focus all of our energy on training.
Because sure we want to help our athletes get bigger, faster and stronger – but what if they’re doing all the hard work in in the gym, yet not taking care of business in the kitchen?
Kobe was famous for saying that NUTRITION was the last arrow in his quiver – the final thing he could do to put the icing on the cake of his game.
So if you want to learn more about how proper nutrition can help you build better basketball players, you’re going to LOVE today’s episode!
Charles Ashford is a performance nutritionist with a decade of experience working with elite athlete, and he currently serves as the performance nutritionist for the Dallas Mavericks of the NBA.
And today, we’re going to get an inside look at what nutrition coaching really looks like at the elite level!
Nutrition periodization is aligning one’s nutrition based upon their training and competition demands.
