Description

Join Carlette Patterson, Head Sports Life Coach® & CEO of Patterson Sports Ventures® and Caio De Souza, Sports Nutritionist and Health Coach to learn about fueling for peak performance, why the timing of your nutrition matters, and how to build a balanced meal.

Winning Strategies:

1. Macronutrients – carbohydrates, fats, and proteins – are essential for maintaining levels of energy for peak performance and optimal recovery.
2. Three to five hours before training athletes should eat large, well-balanced meals that include complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, and lean proteins. One hour before training or during training athletes should eat simple carbohydrates to maintain glycogen (energy reserve) levels in the body. Post-training an athlete should focus on eating or drinking 20-30 grams of protein.
