Sports Nutrition and Performance
How can I perform at my highest level every day?’ is a question that all athletes will eventually ask themselves.
As a previous collegiate, Division 1, indoor and beach volleyball athlete with professional beach volleyball experience, it was my job to perform at my highest level at every practice, every weight training session, every game, and all things sport related as well as the classroom. The better and better you become in your sport or event, you begin to understand the best players are able to perform at the highest level every day with the least amount of mistakes. As we ask ourselves how we can perform at our highest level every day, it becomes apparent how important the role of recovery and understanding how to fuel our bodies properly comes into play.
Performance depends on a variety of different factors including, but not limited to, nutrition, hydration, sleep, stretching, preparation, and rest. How we prepare our body before, during, and after performance is what takes an athlete to the next level. We work with youth and adult athletes in all types of backgrounds, especially youth athletes interested in taking it to the next level (collegiate).
