I just finished a four-week metabolic health class the other day that focused on proper eating.  I took it because I was recommended by a good friend of mine, but I’ve always understood that eating well is an important part of being a top-level athlete.  The class was hosted by Brien Shamp of Optimal Fitness Lifestyle Center and I’ve gotta say that it was really informative.

I realized that I need to pay more attention to what I eat because I not only need the right fuel to get me through tough practices, but I also need the right food in my system to help with the recovery process after working out.

It’s definitely difficult to consistently monitor what you eat, but from now on, I’ll try my best to  give my body the right food to work with!
