Practical Advice for the Discerning Athlete

Speaker's Topics Include:
 

PERFORMANCE NUTRITION


  • The body is no different from any other machine in that it cannot operate optimally with sub-grade fuel.
  • Each athlete is different: genes; health status; ability; goals and dreams; sport;
    body type; lifestyle; personality; schedule.  No one diet / nutrition plan will suit all.
  • We offer: individualized performance nutrition analysis and prescription to meet the unique needs of each athlete.
  • All performance nutrition plans are customized for the individual.


PERFORMANCE CONDITIONING


  • While the elements of all fitness / training and conditioning programs are similar, everyone is different when it comes to fitness / athletic performance goals and performance outcomes.
  • Performance fitness / training programs are customized to the individual client's
    needs - from the non-athletic health-seeking individual to the occupational, recreational and professional athlete.
  • For clients who already have fitness / conditioning coaches or trainers - we will work with these professionals to assist them in optimizing their programs through nutrition and lifestyle recommendations.


LIFESTYLE PERFORMANCE


  • Athletic performance through nutrition and conditioning cannot be successful if not in context with the athlete's lifestyle.
  • Sleep, recovery, emotional health, social interactions and psychological
    differences must be accounted for in every performance profile.
  • All performance fitness and performance conditioning evaluations,
    prescriptions and talks take the overall lifestyle and wellness of the athlete into
    account.
  • No two programs can be similar, because each individual is unique - this is the difference between our company and others! No cookie-cutter type programs!
