All serious athletes know that performance improvement
doesn’t stop when you leave practice. The way we fuel our bodies influences the
way our muscles recover and our ability to perform in our next workout. Our
coaches are always telling us how important it is to sleep enough, fully
hydrate and eat healthy, but many of us don’t understand what is actually going
on within our bodies and why this is so important, which keeps us from fully
committing to making good out-of-practice choices.
Our nutrition advisor here at DomTech, Michael Coseo, is here to help
us understand these internal processes to help us make the right choices
optimizing our ability to perform at our best every day.
Michael is a registered Nutritionist and licensed Dietitian in the
state of South Carolina. He received his undergrad education at the University
of South Carolina with a major in Exercise Science and then attended Winthrop University where he gained a Master of Science in
Human Nutrition with a 4.0 GPA.
While at USC he interned with the Athletic Department to develop original educational materials
highlighting the effects different nutrients can have on elite athletes. He
also worked with the school’s catering services to develop weekly menus and
created new recipes for the training table. He formed nutritional and
performance based table inserts and handouts and presented sports related
nutritional information to USC’s athletic teams. He is a current member of the
Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and the Collegiate and Professional Sport
Dietitian Association.
Michael will be highlighted in
our first blog post next week explaining how practice and workouts break your body down, and how you
fuel your body determines how it is built back up.
