Nutrition & Health

Nutrition

What we fuel our bodies with and our sleep patterns is so important to our health, energy, recovery, and ultimately can affect our performance in either a positive or negative way.

It is vital to get the proper amount of protein (.64-.82 grams of protein per pound), LOTS of vegetables, fruits, and the proper carbohydrates.

Here is a great list of the top 5 carbohydrates you should be eating with your proteins, vegetables, and fruits: https://www.active.com/nutrition/articles/5-best-carbs-for-athletes

Sleep

Troy’s basketball career was greatly impacted by the 2009 Stanford study on sleep and performance.  He read the article and made a new commitment to get proper sleep each night (coupled with very hard work), and that is when his performances continued to improve bringing him to some of the highest levels of European basketball.

Hydration

Hydration is extremely important, and something Troy has taken very seriously.  If you notice he has a water bottle almost everywhere he goes.
