Courtney Chramowicz, Sports Dietitian, helps us fuel for maximum performance. Courtney plans our team meals, organizes fueling on game day,  on road trips and more.  Most importantly, she works with each player individually to give us a road map to be at our best.

Courtney tells us about herself and how she became a Sports Dietitian.  Then she gives us her thoughts on the best way to eat and fuel your way to top performance.  You will enjoy hearing about the importance of protein, carbs and gut health.  And you will learn why she says sports nutrition is like keeping your gas tank filled in all the right ways.
