at Midwest Dairy once again,

and over the next few weeks,

15
00:00:28,380 --> 00:00:30,820
we're going to be talking about

16
00:00:30,380 --> 00:00:32,480
the Huskers nutrition podcast

17
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,080
for the Huskers nutrition for

18
00:00:32,620 --> 00:00:34,520
Husker student athletes.

19
00:00:33,220 --> 00:00:36,120
There's a lot more that goes

20
00:00:34,660 --> 00:00:36,760
into it than just fueling these

21
00:00:36,260 --> 00:00:38,360
student athletes. There's a

22
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,980
lot of training, a lot of tools

23
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:39,580
that are provided, and so

24
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,520
we're going to dive into all of

25
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:44,360
that with. Lisa Ko Becky, the

26
00:00:42,660 --> 00:00:44,920
director of performance

27
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:46,560
nutrition and her staff today

28
00:00:45,060 --> 00:00:48,660
joining us is Jake Blattner

29
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,620
associate R D N. Got that

30
00:00:48,780 --> 00:00:52,260
right, right? Lisa Let's start

31
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,880
before we get into all the fun

32
00:00:52,380 --> 00:00:54,520
stuff because you guys have a

33
00:00:53,020 --> 00:00:56,160
lot of cool stuff to talk with

34
00:00:54,660 --> 00:00:56,760
us about. But tell us about

35
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,360
your staff because we're going

36
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,700
to be talking about the

37
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:02,540
nutrition team. We've got 10

38
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,140
registered dietitians on staff

39
00:01:02,660 --> 00:01:04,760
that work directly with all of

40
00:01:04,260 --> 00:01:08,260
our student athletes. So each

41
00:01:04,900 --> 00:01:10,340
team has. A dedicated

42
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,260
dietitian or more. For example,

43
00:01:10,460 --> 00:01:14,340
football currently has three,

44
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,940
so all of us have specific

45
00:01:14,460 --> 00:01:16,540
sports that we're responsible

46
00:01:15,060 --> 00:01:17,140
for, and that includes

47
00:01:16,660 --> 00:01:18,560
education, making sure that

48
00:01:17,260 --> 00:01:20,440
they're fed. They understand

49
00:01:18,700 --> 00:01:22,360
their hydration needs and body

50
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,440
composition testing. How

51
00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:25,040
important is that to have

52
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,500
someone that's dedicated for

53
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,140
each sport and can maybe dive

54
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:27,740
in because it's not all the

55
00:01:27,740 --> 00:01:30,020
same. It's just a different

56
00:01:28,380 --> 00:01:31,580
thing. It's a different

57
00:01:30,140 --> 00:01:32,220
environment. Not everybody

58
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,820
eats and fuels the same. We

59
00:01:32,340 --> 00:01:35,820
have endurance athletes that

60
00:01:33,940 --> 00:01:36,440
require different specific

61
00:01:35,940 --> 00:01:39,720
needs as our strength athletes

62
00:01:36,580 --> 00:01:41,640
do. And it's just really

63
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,280
important to get to know them

64
00:01:41,780 --> 00:01:43,820
so that we can help them play

65
00:01:42,420 --> 00:01:45,740
coach when they come through

66
00:01:43,940 --> 00:01:46,340
the training table, help them

67
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,940
troubleshoot anything that may

68
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,820
come up throughout the year.

69
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,740
And Jake, you work with what

70
00:01:49,940 --> 00:01:52,380
sports I'm with the men's

71
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,880
basketball team with coach

72
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,740
Fred Hoiberg and then our

73
00:01:54,020 --> 00:01:56,380
track and field team with

74
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:56,980
Justin St Clair. That's

75
00:01:56,980 --> 00:01:59,040
awesome. That's awesome.

76
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,640
That's awesome. That's awesome.

77
00:01:59,180 --> 00:02:01,140
How did you get to Nebraska?

78
00:01:59,780 --> 00:02:02,800
Tell us your backstory. Um,

79
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,440
actually grew up a small town

80
00:02:02,940 --> 00:02:05,080
farm kid, so grew up in

81
00:02:03,580 --> 00:02:06,980
Rochester, Minnesota, Balen

82
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,980
Hay, Milken cows grew up on a

83
00:02:07,100 --> 00:02:09,580
dairy farm. So yeah, so dairy

84
00:02:09,100 --> 00:02:13,000
has a little special place in

85
00:02:09,700 --> 00:02:14,880
my heart. And then I knew I

86
00:02:13,140 --> 00:02:15,480
knew I wanted to be a sports

87
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,100
dietitian since I was like 15

88
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,980
years old, you know, like that

89
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,580
was like the main goal. So went

90
00:02:19,100 --> 00:02:21,180
to a small private institution

91
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:21,800
called the turbo in La Crosse

92
00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:24,980
Wisconsin. No one's ever heard

93
00:02:21,940 --> 00:02:25,600
of it. Senior year. I really

94
00:02:25,100 --> 00:02:26,940
wanted to be that sports

95
00:02:26,940 --> 00:02:29,180
nutrition and Victoria

96
00:02:28,140 --> 00:02:30,780
Rosenfeld or Lambert actually

97
00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:31,300
was one of my mentors and she

98
00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:32,900
really got me integrated into

99
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,500
sports nutrition. And after

100
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,100
graduating, I was like, Oh my

101
00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:35,700
goodness, there's only like

102
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,100
five sports dietitians in the

103
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,700
U. S. Like how do I get a job?

104
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,300
So I was doing research and

105
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,940
development for like GNC

106
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,580
vitamin shop and I got a phone

107
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,100
call from Florida State. They

108
00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:45,100
said, Hey, come on down. Spent

109
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,700
three years of the Seminoles

110
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,300
and then they paid for my

111
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,940
graduate schooling. Got a

112
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,500
phone call from Dave Ellis and

113
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,100
Lisa Coppeck. And then I got

114
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:52,840
a phone call from the

115
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,780
university of Florida. And I

116
00:02:54,780 --> 00:02:58,780
got a phone call from the

117
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,340
university of Florida. And I

118
00:02:58,900 --> 00:02:59,980
got a phone call from Dave

119
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,680
Ellis and Lisa Coppecky up

120
00:03:00,100 --> 00:03:04,600
here and. Shoot what? Five

121
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,700
years later. Here we are. So

122
00:03:04,740 --> 00:03:07,340
that's awesome. Well this is a

123
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,900
crazy time of year because

124
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,700
you got a lot of new students

125
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,340
that are filing on campus. A

126
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,900
lot of freshmen that are

127
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,500
probably learning how to eat

128
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,140
properly for the very first

129
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:16,780
time and fuel themselves

130
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,380
properly. You're laughing with

131
00:03:16,900 --> 00:03:18,980
What is that like when you get

132
00:03:17,500 --> 00:03:20,580
these new freshman in and how

133
00:03:19,100 --> 00:03:21,180
you guys kind of get them

134
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:22,780
acclimated? Well a lot of

135
00:03:21,300 --> 00:03:24,380
people on the street asked me

136
00:03:24,380 --> 00:03:26,580
what is the most important

137
00:03:26,020 --> 00:03:28,220
thing that you do to keep

138
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,820
your body healthy and then

139
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,420
perform? Well no it's not that

140
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,060
simple. Number one, not

141
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,460
everybody comes from the same

142
00:03:31,180 --> 00:03:34,460
background. Not everybody has

143
00:03:32,580 --> 00:03:36,260
been exposed to what

144
00:03:34,580 --> 00:03:38,260
macronutrients are.

145
00:03:36,380 --> 00:03:38,860
Carbohydrates for fuel for the

146
00:03:38,380 --> 00:03:40,460
body. Protein which is our

147
00:03:38,980 --> 00:03:42,260
building blocks. It helps us

148
00:03:40,580 --> 00:03:44,260
build and repair muscle. Also

149
00:03:42,380 --> 00:03:46,260
helps keep our immune system

150
00:03:44,380 --> 00:03:48,260
strong. And then fat. Fat is

151
00:03:46,380 --> 00:03:50,260
essential for many functions in

152
00:03:48,380 --> 00:03:52,260
the body. It cushions all of

153
00:03:50,380 --> 00:03:54,260
our organs. It boosts our immune

154
00:03:54,260 --> 00:03:58,140
system. It helps us keep our

155
00:03:56,260 --> 00:04:00,140
body healthy. And then make sure

156
00:03:58,260 --> 00:04:02,140
that these kids coming in

157
00:04:00,260 --> 00:04:02,740
understand that all those

158
00:04:02,260 --> 00:04:04,140
components are really

159
00:04:02,860 --> 00:04:06,140
important when they are fueling

160
00:04:04,260 --> 00:04:08,140
their bodies. And for the first

161
00:04:06,260 --> 00:04:10,060
time many of them are on their

162
00:04:08,260 --> 00:04:10,660
own as far as fueling their

163
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,260
bodies go. Mom and dad aren't

164
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,140
there to remind them it's time

165
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,740
to eat to make sure they had

166
00:04:14,260 --> 00:04:16,140
breakfast or money in their

167
00:04:14,860 --> 00:04:18,140
school account. And it's up to

168
00:04:16,260 --> 00:04:19,740
them to make it happen. This

169
00:04:18,260 --> 00:04:20,340
time of year we have student

170
00:04:19,860 --> 00:04:21,140
athletes kind of rolling

171
00:04:20,460 --> 00:04:22,260
through here and a lot of them

172
00:04:21,260 --> 00:04:24,140
are on campus either practicing

173
00:04:24,140 --> 00:04:28,000
or taking classes. So how

174
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,000
important is this time for these

175
00:04:28,140 --> 00:04:32,000
kind of groups that are trying

176
00:04:30,140 --> 00:04:32,640
to get set for August, September

177
00:04:32,140 --> 00:04:34,000
and that time of year? Yeah.

178
00:04:32,780 --> 00:04:36,000
We're building our building

179
00:04:34,140 --> 00:04:36,600
blocks right now. So like Lisa

180
00:04:36,140 --> 00:04:38,000
said, it's you know, we're

181
00:04:36,740 --> 00:04:38,600
building that foundation of hey

182
00:04:38,140 --> 00:04:40,000
this is how we're going to get

183
00:04:38,740 --> 00:04:42,000
through the season. This is

184
00:04:40,140 --> 00:04:42,600
what a performance plate should

185
00:04:42,140 --> 00:04:44,000
look like for you. So right now

186
00:04:42,740 --> 00:04:46,000
is kind of that that key

187
00:04:44,140 --> 00:04:46,600
building period or onboarding

188
00:04:46,140 --> 00:04:50,000
period for the student athletes

189
00:04:46,740 --> 00:04:52,000
so. Great example this morning.

190
00:04:50,140 --> 00:04:52,600
I was watching our volleyball

191
00:04:52,140 --> 00:04:54,000
team come in and half of our

192
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,860
students were playing volleyball

193
00:04:55,460 --> 00:04:59,860
and it was just fun to watch

194
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,500
them build their plate and then

195
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,100
for me to make suggestions.

196
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,100
How about you add a carb here?

197
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,000
Can we get a good protein

198
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,100
source right now? How about

199
00:05:06,140 --> 00:05:10,060
something high in calcium such

200
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,060
as Greek yogurt, so sending

201
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,700
them back in to try again to

202
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,100
make sure they have all the

203
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:14,740
components of their plate. I

204
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,000
know you guys play a big role

205
00:05:14,860 --> 00:05:19,940
in recruiting these. Freshman

206
00:05:18,140 --> 00:05:22,060
mobile when they're in high

207
00:05:20,060 --> 00:05:23,940
school. How big is that, too?

208
00:05:23,940 --> 00:05:27,040
And I think that's a really

209
00:05:25,900 --> 00:05:27,780
important part of the student

210
00:05:27,180 --> 00:05:29,800
athletes recruiting process

211
00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:31,800
that they always mentioned the

212
00:05:29,940 --> 00:05:32,440
nutrition stop and how

213
00:05:31,940 --> 00:05:34,000
important that that is for them

214
00:05:32,580 --> 00:05:35,800
developing as a student

215
00:05:34,140 --> 00:05:36,440
athlete. Absolutely and moms

216
00:05:35,940 --> 00:05:38,000
and dads are concerned about

217
00:05:36,580 --> 00:05:38,600
their kids getting fed when

218
00:05:38,140 --> 00:05:40,100
they're off at college, and I

219
00:05:38,740 --> 00:05:42,100
think we're one of the few

220
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,940
institutions that's actually

221
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,580
offering breakfast, lunch and

222
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,100
dinner to all of our student

223
00:05:44,700 --> 00:05:48,000
athletes. I've been to a few

224
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,940
different institutions. I've

225
00:05:48,140 --> 00:05:51,800
uh, you know, I've looked

226
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,440
around within the N C double

227
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,640
and I've seen a lot of them

228
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,180
that are not really doing

229
00:05:54,780 --> 00:05:55,840
anything. So I think they're

230
00:05:55,300 --> 00:05:59,780
talking to them. There's a lot.

231
00:05:55,980 --> 00:06:01,780
Yes, their eyes are really big

232
00:05:59,900 --> 00:06:03,580
and they're just taking it all

233
00:06:01,900 --> 00:06:04,440
in. They don't even notice

234
00:06:03,700 --> 00:06:05,040
probably half of what we have

235
00:06:04,580 --> 00:06:07,880
to offer in the training table

236
00:06:05,180 --> 00:06:09,840
because there's so much. So we

237
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,700
have to have constant visuals

238
00:06:09,980 --> 00:06:12,580
and reminders. These air things

239
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:13,180
before practice. These air

240
00:06:12,700 --> 00:06:15,700
things that are helpful for

241
00:06:13,300 --> 00:06:17,740
recovery. And just

242
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:18,780
continuously training and

243
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,740
reminding them making sure they

244
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:20,300
know how to make their own

245
00:06:20,300 --> 00:06:23,000
decisions. And so I think

246
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,600
that's what we're doing. But

247
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:28,020
there's a lot of teaching that

248
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:30,020
goes on. Late night studying,

249
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,920
intense practice cramming for

250
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,020
that big test. Take a moment to

251
00:06:32,060 --> 00:06:34,620
reset yourself with dairy.

252
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,200
Dairy foods like milk and

253
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,100
yogurt allow you to stay in the

254
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,000
game with immunity boosting

255
00:06:38,220 --> 00:06:42,060
nutrients like vitamin A

256
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,700
vitamin D, zinc and protein to

257
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,000
keep you fueled without the

258
00:06:42,820 --> 00:06:47,920
crash. Trusted by athletes and

259
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,520
supported by science, a message

260
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,960
to the world. So I think that

261
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,960
that's what we're doing.

262
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,960
So we have the food, but then

263
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,580
there's also the hydration part

264
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,060
of it. Tell us about the

265
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,960
importance of that and that

266
00:06:56,180 --> 00:06:59,560
education part of it. Yeah, I

267
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,960
mean, everyone's looking for

268
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,560
that secret little edge and.

269
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,160
You know, I had to think about

270
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,160
that one time I was giving a

271
00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:06,760
presentation. Everyone's like,

272
00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:08,360
Well, what are your top five

273
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,960
secrets? I'm like, well,

274
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,660
there's no crazy secrets. I

275
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,280
mean, eat three meals a day,

276
00:07:11,780 --> 00:07:15,760
drink some water and sleep,

277
00:07:12,420 --> 00:07:16,380
guys. It's it's sometimes

278
00:07:16,380 --> 00:07:19,080
hard to tell. But I think

279
00:07:17,020 --> 00:07:19,720
that's the key. I think it's

280
00:07:19,220 --> 00:07:20,360
important to think about

281
00:07:19,860 --> 00:07:20,980
that. Because athletes first

282
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,460
come in like how much water

283
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,060
should you be drinking? You

284
00:07:22,580 --> 00:07:26,280
know, half your body weight

285
00:07:23,180 --> 00:07:28,180
announces to say. I'm a 200

286
00:07:26,420 --> 00:07:28,780
pound athlete like I don't know

287
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,180
if you guys can see that. Yeah,

288
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,780
yeah, yeah. So you know, hey,

289
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,380
I'm 200 pounds. I should be

290
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,280
getting at least 100 ounce of

291
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,920
water. This surround 32 ounces.

292
00:07:35,420 --> 00:07:38,380
So at least three of these bad

293
00:07:36,060 --> 00:07:39,980
boys a day. It's just a

294
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,580
starting point for us. And

295
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,320
then after you get done

296
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,280
working out, we have. Yes,

297
00:07:42,460 --> 00:07:44,880
just a regular bottle of

298
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,080
aquafina. I'm not sure if I'm

299
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,740
going to be able to do that.

300
00:07:47,220 --> 00:07:49,340
I'm going to be doing it for

301
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,940
16 ounces, 20 ounces. So

302
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,740
depending upon how many ounces

303
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,780
of fluids you need today, you

304
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,380
can figure out or plug them

305
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,820
into a little equation. So I

306
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,440
know, hey, at least three

307
00:07:56,940 --> 00:08:00,780
bottles of water for myself

308
00:07:57,580 --> 00:08:01,420
and then for if you jump on a

309
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,040
scale before practice and then

310
00:08:01,540 --> 00:08:03,740
after practice for every pound

311
00:08:03,180 --> 00:08:06,880
of water that I sweat out,

312
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,940
looking at 16 to 24 ounces. So

313
00:08:07,020 --> 00:08:10,940
say I was 200 pounds before

314
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,780
practice, jump on a scale

315
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,820
after practice, and I'm 199. I

316
00:08:14,820 --> 00:08:18,780
know I'm not going to be able

317
00:08:16,820 --> 00:08:20,640
to do that. I'm fine. Are you

318
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,780
constantly to like, Hey, drink

319
00:08:20,780 --> 00:08:23,420
you need a drink when you got

320
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,040
to practice? Because I know

321
00:08:23,540 --> 00:08:24,640
you guys are embedded with the

322
00:08:24,180 --> 00:08:26,780
teams you travel with them.

323
00:08:24,780 --> 00:08:28,680
And so when are you constantly

324
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,280
making sure that, Hey, you

325
00:08:28,820 --> 00:08:30,680
need to drink a little bit

326
00:08:29,420 --> 00:08:31,280
more. Make sure you stay

327
00:08:30,820 --> 00:08:32,880
hydrated during games and

328
00:08:31,420 --> 00:08:34,720
stuff. I know like we've

329
00:08:33,020 --> 00:08:35,320
already calculated out. We

330
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,940
have like fancy sweat patches

331
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,580
and sweat rate testing and

332
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,180
stuff. So I know, Hey, how

333
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,780
much someone's going to lose

334
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,380
permitted on the court or out

335
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:41,980
on the field sweating. So we

336
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,780
have a quick calculation. I

337
00:08:44,780 --> 00:08:48,740
know that. I know that he

338
00:08:47,580 --> 00:08:50,680
sweats like no other. It's

339
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,280
ridiculous. Um so like we have

340
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,840
to stay on top of him and make

341
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,440
sure he's replacing that fluid

342
00:08:52,980 --> 00:08:54,040
that he just lost and make

343
00:08:53,580 --> 00:08:56,940
sure he stays hydrated during

344
00:08:54,180 --> 00:08:57,580
a game. And some of our

345
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,040
student athletes are losing

346
00:08:57,700 --> 00:09:00,940
more sodium than some of their

347
00:08:59,180 --> 00:09:02,780
teammates are heavy sweaters.

348
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,380
The kids that you see the salt

349
00:09:02,900 --> 00:09:04,980
residue on their face when

350
00:09:03,500 --> 00:09:06,780
practice is done, so we're

351
00:09:05,100 --> 00:09:08,440
keeping an eye on them as well

352
00:09:06,900 --> 00:09:09,040
to make sure they understand

353
00:09:08,580 --> 00:09:10,640
that they either need to

354
00:09:09,180 --> 00:09:12,240
heavily salt their food

355
00:09:10,780 --> 00:09:12,840
between practices or they're

356
00:09:12,380 --> 00:09:14,740
adding some electrolytes in.

357
00:09:14,740 --> 00:09:18,700
So tell us about the kind of

358
00:09:16,740 --> 00:09:19,300
plate. You have a thing called

359
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,700
a performance play. Yeah, So

360
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,700
I'm going to show you an

361
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,700
example here. Um this is our

362
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,640
moderate training day. So this

363
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,340
is a good visual to help

364
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,900
student athletes understand

365
00:09:27,460 --> 00:09:29,500
what needs what components need

366
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,700
to be on their plate when

367
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,300
they're fueling. So for an

368
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,900
athlete that's doing moderate

369
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,700
training, maybe up to three

370
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,600
hours of training a day. There

371
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,200
might be some sports specific

372
00:09:38,740 --> 00:09:40,800
training or some strength and

373
00:09:39,340 --> 00:09:42,400
conditioning, but they're going

374
00:09:40,940 --> 00:09:43,900
to want to divide that plate

375
00:09:43,900 --> 00:09:46,260
into two parts. So we're going

376
00:09:45,300 --> 00:09:47,860
to have a fast carbohydrates

377
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,460
plate. So our fast carbohydrates

378
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,860
plate is coming from

379
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,860
carbohydrates. We want higher

380
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,860
fiber carbohydrates for long

381
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,460
term, sustained energy, and

382
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,860
then we're going to use fast

383
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,460
carbohydrates around their

384
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,060
training. So some examples of

385
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,860
some fast carbohydrates might

386
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,860
be fruit snacks. Um applesauce

387
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,960
pouches or potentially a bar

388
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,560
that's made predominantly of

389
00:10:05,100 --> 00:10:07,160
carbohydrates. So that would

390
00:10:06,700 --> 00:10:09,760
be the performance piece around

391
00:10:07,300 --> 00:10:10,860
their training. And back to

392
00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:11,960
their performance played at

393
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,860
their meals. We're also

394
00:10:13,860 --> 00:10:16,820
looking for that last third to

395
00:10:15,860 --> 00:10:19,820
come from fruits and vegetables.

396
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,820
Okay, so I think I skipped over

397
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,820
apart. Tell us about macros.

398
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,820
Well, the macros that's the

399
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,420
protein, carbohydrates and fat.

400
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,820
So all three of those are

401
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:29,820
essential at every meal and

402
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,820
need to be a part of every

403
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,820
athlete's performance plate.

404
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,820
And then how we divide that

405
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,820
plate depends on the cycle of

406
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,820
training that an athlete may be

407
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,420
going through. That's one of

408
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,820
the very first things that you

409
00:10:37,560 --> 00:10:39,820
say. So that's one of the

410
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,820
important things that you're

411
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,820
talking about. So that's one

412
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,820
of the things that you're

413
00:10:42,820 --> 00:10:44,780
talking about. And then the

414
00:10:43,820 --> 00:10:46,780
very first things that you say,

415
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,780
Hey, this is what a plate the

416
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,780
things that combine or make up

417
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,780
a good performance plate,

418
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,380
right? And before we can get

419
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,780
them to put it on the plate,

420
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,380
they need to understand what

421
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,780
it's going to do for their

422
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,780
body. So I always ask our male

423
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,780
athletes when they come in if

424
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:02,680
they're looking to gain muscle

425
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,780
and every one of them raises

426
00:11:02,820 --> 00:11:05,380
their hand. And so then my next

427
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:05,980
question is, what do you

428
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:06,780
suppose you need to eat more

429
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,780
of? And they all say protein,

430
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,780
which is not the correct

431
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,780
answer because we typically

432
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,780
don't have a hard time getting

433
00:11:12,780 --> 00:11:15,740
protein. But what they actually

434
00:11:14,780 --> 00:11:17,740
need is more carbohydrates.

435
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,740
They need more fuel because if

436
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,740
they're under fueling, then

437
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,740
that protein they do consume

438
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,740
gets used for energy and not

439
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,740
building and repairing. How

440
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,740
much do you find to it? They

441
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,740
commented. Oh, I don't like

442
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,740
fruits. I don't like vegetables

443
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,740
that you have to show them.

444
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,740
Hey, there's a lot of different

445
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,740
options that you can find. Yeah,

446
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,740
we find that frequently,

447
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,740
actually. So some of our

448
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,740
student athletes will be doing

449
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,740
daily or weekly challenges,

450
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,740
trying to get them to just try

451
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,740
other fruits and vegetables or

452
00:11:41,740 --> 00:11:43,700
other things that they can't

453
00:11:42,740 --> 00:11:45,700
eat. So I'm going to say, well,

454
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,300
I only like steamed broccoli.

455
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,700
Okay, well, broccoli isn't on

456
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,300
the menu today, but we can

457
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:48,900
teach you how to make your own

458
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,700
broccoli and our life skills

459
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:54,700
kitchen. Or could we hide

460
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,340
spinach in a smoothie and you

461
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:55,900
don't even know it's there if

462
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,700
we put a lid on it and you

463
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,800
can't see the green color. So

464
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,700
and then going back to the

465
00:11:59,940 --> 00:12:02,600
hydration part of it, it's not

466
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,200
just water, right? There's

467
00:12:02,740 --> 00:12:04,600
there's other things in terms

468
00:12:03,340 --> 00:12:05,700
of liquid that you need to be

469
00:12:04,740 --> 00:12:06,700
putting in your body and

470
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,300
replacing with. Yes,

471
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,700
definitely. So like one of my

472
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,300
favorite go to is like just

473
00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:14,160
like I said, I'm a high school

474
00:12:10,900 --> 00:12:14,800
student that. You know, like I

475
00:12:14,300 --> 00:12:16,200
said, we grew up a dairy farmer

476
00:12:14,940 --> 00:12:16,800
and everyone's like, well,

477
00:12:16,340 --> 00:12:18,300
chocolate milk, chocolate milk.

478
00:12:16,940 --> 00:12:18,900
Well, why chocolate milk? I

479
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,300
mean, you're getting some

480
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,940
electrolytes and there's some

481
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:21,540
sodium, some calcium, but

482
00:12:21,060 --> 00:12:22,160
you're also getting that

483
00:12:21,660 --> 00:12:26,160
protein for recovery after a

484
00:12:22,300 --> 00:12:28,160
workout. So. Actually chocolate

485
00:12:26,300 --> 00:12:28,760
milk is a great hydration

486
00:12:28,300 --> 00:12:32,300
solution and a protein

487
00:12:28,900 --> 00:12:32,940
solution, too. So and then what

488
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,300
else besides chocolate milk?

489
00:12:33,060 --> 00:12:36,240
Do you do you like to hand

490
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,160
student athletes? Well, I mean,

491
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,760
our sodium. Um I mean, like

492
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,760
we're getting some sodium

493
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,760
in our body. So we're getting

494
00:12:41,900 --> 00:12:44,760
some sodium in our body. So

495
00:12:42,900 --> 00:12:46,760
we're getting some sodium in

496
00:12:44,900 --> 00:12:47,760
that and then also like just

497
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:49,760
little pretzels, little snacky

498
00:12:47,900 --> 00:12:50,760
things. Um obviously Gatorade.

499
00:12:49,900 --> 00:12:52,760
You need to replace those

500
00:12:50,900 --> 00:12:54,760
electrolytes. So that's

501
00:12:52,900 --> 00:12:56,760
something we lost in our sweat,

502
00:12:54,900 --> 00:12:58,760
sodium, magnesium, stuff like

503
00:12:56,900 --> 00:13:00,760
that. So just some salty snacks

504
00:12:58,900 --> 00:13:02,760
to keep around the dorm room,

505
00:13:00,900 --> 00:13:03,400
the backpacks. Um I was a high

506
00:13:02,900 --> 00:13:04,760
school student keeping my

507
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,760
locker, just some little

508
00:13:04,900 --> 00:13:06,760
pretzels to make sure we're

509
00:13:05,900 --> 00:13:07,760
getting that sodium replaced.

510
00:13:06,900 --> 00:13:08,360
So when you are losing this

511
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,220
electrolyte, you're not

512
00:13:08,980 --> 00:13:13,220
getting that sodium replaced.

513
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,820
Especially our kids that come

514
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,420
from Europe. They are not used

515
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,420
to drinking electrolyte

516
00:13:15,560 --> 00:13:19,420
replacement drinks, so they're

517
00:13:17,560 --> 00:13:20,020
looking for alternative

518
00:13:19,560 --> 00:13:20,620
options. So can they salt

519
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,220
their food a little more

520
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,820
heavily to get what they need?

521
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,420
And you might have dived into

522
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,360
this a little bit earlier, but

523
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:29,420
just so you're talking about

524
00:13:27,500 --> 00:13:30,060
all the different amounts in

525
00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:30,660
the ounces that you need to be

526
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,420
putting in your body. But does

527
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,020
that change with? Depending on

528
00:13:33,560 --> 00:13:35,420
the activities that you're

529
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,420
doing as well. Yes, definitely.

530
00:13:37,420 --> 00:13:40,380
So we're going to need more

531
00:13:39,420 --> 00:13:41,020
liquid to help cool us down.

532
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,420
Colder liquids help us cool

533
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,280
that body temperature down. We

534
00:13:43,560 --> 00:13:45,920
used to use like electrolyte

535
00:13:45,420 --> 00:13:49,360
popsicles or just freezy pops

536
00:13:46,060 --> 00:13:51,280
like that was a half watermelon.

537
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,880
Yeah watermelon. Um you know,

538
00:13:51,420 --> 00:13:53,280
just things to help cool that

539
00:13:52,020 --> 00:13:55,380
core body temperature down to

540
00:13:53,420 --> 00:13:55,980
so. Um, watermelons great

541
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,420
freezy pops just cold water.

542
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,020
And when you're so hot, and

543
00:13:59,560 --> 00:14:01,580
sometimes you don't want to

544
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,180
eat or you don't want to drink.

545
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,280
How do you reinforce the need

546
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,880
for that? The thing that we

547
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,080
have to do is we have to

548
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,880
reinforce the need for that

549
00:14:08,220 --> 00:14:11,740
this time of year, so it's not

550
00:14:10,020 --> 00:14:13,740
uncommon when students come in

551
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,340
from training and they're

552
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,780
supposed to be eating a meal

553
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,380
and they have no appetite

554
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,780
because their body still

555
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,680
trying to recover from that

556
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,240
training, so we will continue

557
00:14:19,820 --> 00:14:23,780
to use fluids, electrolytes,

558
00:14:20,380 --> 00:14:25,780
slushies. Cold salads, frozen

559
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,780
grapes to try to cool that body

560
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,740
temperature will get them to

561
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,340
consume some carbs right away,

562
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,740
and then hopefully within a

563
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,340
couple hours, they're ready for

564
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,740
a meal, so we may have to send

565
00:14:35,740 --> 00:14:41,600
them to the gym. I think we

566
00:14:38,940 --> 00:14:42,240
covered a lot of you. You can

567
00:14:41,740 --> 00:14:42,880
tell it seems like you guys

568
00:14:42,380 --> 00:14:43,740
are on the same page. How

569
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,380
important is that with your

570
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,980
team? And we're gonna hear a

571
00:14:45,500 --> 00:14:46,580
lot again from a lot of them.

572
00:14:46,100 --> 00:14:49,540
Just It seems like they're all

573
00:14:46,700 --> 00:14:50,140
kind of bought into the

574
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,680
messaging that you're telling

575
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,640
us. That's our main goal is to

576
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,740
really standardize our

577
00:14:53,780 --> 00:14:56,380
messaging so that we can help

578
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,900
all of our student athletes. I

579
00:14:56,500 --> 00:14:59,740
may not understand all the

580
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,380
intricacies of one of Jake's

581
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:01,780
basketball guys, but if he

582
00:15:00,500 --> 00:15:02,380
comes in and I can ask him, are

583
00:15:01,900 --> 00:15:05,680
you a weight game guy or a

584
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,780
weight game guy? I'm a weight

585
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,660
game guy. Jake isn't present

586
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,280
and vice versa. All right.

587
00:15:11,780 --> 00:15:13,880
Well, this is gonna be fun

588
00:15:12,420 --> 00:15:14,480
over the next few weeks. I'm

589
00:15:14,020 --> 00:15:15,960
learning a lot. I'm sitting

590
00:15:14,620 --> 00:15:17,880
here trying to take notes and

591
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,520
take it all in because I think

592
00:15:18,020 --> 00:15:20,120
it's important, not just for

593
00:15:18,660 --> 00:15:20,720
athletes, but for everybody

594
00:15:20,260 --> 00:15:22,360

595
00:15:20,860 --> 00:15:22,960
right for the general public.

596
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,720
