A LESSON IN NUTRITION: There is a lot to learn from Olympic athletes and coaches. One of the most important lessons is one we rarely hear about…. But it is one that happens after every practice, performance and game…. It is the lesson of Nutrition.

Proper nutrition fuels both peak performance and rapid recovery. The US Olympic committee uses the four Rs for proper nutritional recovery: Replenish the body with carbs. Repair muscles with protein. Reinforce the immune system with fruits and vegetables. Rehydrate with fluids and electrolytes.

Addressing these nutritional needs will increase performance.
