The field of Sports Nutrition is on the grow. College and professional teams are not only seeking advice from nutritionists for their teams, but they're hiring full-time dietitians to direct programs that apply the science of nutrition to enhance their athletes' performances.
I made another trip to The Ohio State University to get first hand information from OSU's expert on dietetics for football performance, Sean McMickle. We talked extensively on the ever-evolving program at one of the nation's most highly revered football programs. McMickle, is a key figure as a performance team member established by Head Football Coach Urban Meyer and Asst' A.D. for Football Sports Performance Director Mickey Marotti.
In this podcast, we discussed:
- the OSU Football performance team
- Methods of feeding the Buckeye Football Machine
- choosing meats wisely for optimal sports enhancement
- Typical Buckeye Breakfast
- expanding the sports nutrition at OSU
- OSU's nutrition Master's program
- Buckeye "Victory Meal"
- a super calorie weight gain smoothie
