About this listen

 Hi! My name is Derek and I'm a Board Certified Sports Dietitian and Certified Strength & Conditioning Coach. I have had the privilege of working with hundreds of elite athletes over the years, and have come across some AMAZING stories. Becoming a D1 or Professional athlete is NOT easy by any means! Yet so many young athletes want it so badly. And that's why I started this Podcast! 😄 This podcast will share the stories and insights of Division I and Professional athletes, including what they did to get to this level, the role of nutrition in fueling their success, and the obstacles they faced. The goal of "Fueling Success: An Athletes Story" is to entertain listeners and provide valuable lessons that will help young athletes improve their chances of playing at the next level 💪🏼 New episodes each week!! 😁February 2023 Hygiene & Healthy Living

    Owen is another former client of mine who has learned the importance of prioritizing nutrition to improve health AND maximize performance. As a D1 pitcher, Owen discusses how nutrition helped him increase his MPH on the mound, and what he did leading up to college.

    Owen is also an excellent example of the benefits of the Transfer Portal in NCAA sports, and talks about why he made the change. He also has some VERY valuable recruiting advice for young athletes that want to increase their odds of getting a D1 offer 👀

    Lots of great insight in this episode!!
