department?
I was reading an article about Novak Djokovic and his diet and how it allows him to compete at a high level. Tennis and soccer players are huge with diet and stuff. I don't know if the spurs have people that watch players but a few questions popped into my head.
How Important is diet in basketball? Watching PJ tucker eat nachos in front of his own coach makes me wonder if it's even important...But then we also know of players that were playing at an all-star level only to fall of a Cliff after gaining weight and eating huge amounts of donuts, croissant, French fries and so on..Kemp, Williams etc.
I watched Lowe interview Reddick a few months ago and they talked about diet...
He said during his first 5 years, he didn't give a shit..ate all sorts of junk foods and the end of result was feeling shitty every now and then. He said when he changed to a healthy diet, he would feel less tired after games.
We know Manu and TD changed their diets too..
What is your opinion on imposing punishments on players that don't follow a certain calorie intake on a daily basis? It's probably impossible to monitor but in some Soccer youth Academy, they forced kids to eat lunch, breakfast and dinner on their academy to ensure proper diet...
your thoughts on sports nutrition....
