This past weekend, I had the honor of presenting at the 4th Annual Strength & Conditioning/ Athletic Development Conference at Loyola College here in Baltimore MD.
.
This was an absolutely amazing event! If you weren’t there, you missed out BIG TIME!
A big thank you goes out to Robert Taylor, owner of Smarter Team Training, for having me as a presenter and for putting together such an amazing group of speakers.
.
For the event, Rob Taylor brought together NFL and MLB strength coaches, Super Bowl and World Series champions, NBA strength coaches, NCAA and NIT champions, NSCA and NCAA conference professional of the year award finalists and winners, master strength and conditioning coaches, leading high school consultants, personal trainers, and coaches, as well as two of the top nutritionist in the country.
.
I had the last speaking slot of the day, which I taught outside in 100+ degree heat by the way. So, I was able to catch as many workshops as I could. One of my favorite workshops I attended was given by Doctor Jose Antonio. He covered Nutrition and Supplementation for athletes. His lecture was one of the most comprehensive and informative nutritional lectures I’ve ever attended.
.
If you don’t know – Dr.Antonio is one of the worlds leading nutritional researchers who’s written 12 books, published numerous articles and consulted with some of the biggest supplement companies out there. Plus, he’s an amazing speaker and one heck of great guy to talk with and simply be around.
.
After his lecture, Dr. Antonio was nice enough to spend a few minutes of camera time with me to discuss his Top 5 Nutrition & Supplement Tips for Athletes. Check out the video below…
.
There’s no fluff and puff in this video. It’s just easy to understand, simple to use and easy to apply advice YOU can immediately use to improve your health and performance through nutrition and supplementation.

Lately, I’ve learned a great deal of valuable nutrition and supplement information from David Sandler, Jim Stoppani and Dr. Jose Antonio. In future posts, soon to come, I will cover a great deal of this information and expand upon the information Dr.Antonio provided you in the video above.

i do a periworkout protein hydrolysate, creatine, beta alanine mixture and don’t really feel i need to worry about post workout nutrition as i’m already loaded?
love the fish oil and vit. d suggestion. would like to know his “other” tips =)
These sound like great tips, but I’m having trouble hearing the audio. In those future posts, if you could, please spell out some of the supplements he’s recommending. Thanks, and thanks for the info and this blog!
Great video Nick!! Nice and simply, no frills attached, top notch advice.
Would BCAA’s make it into your top five??
Thanks, Nick! I enjoyed listening to Dr. Antonio. And then I went to Dr. Mercola’s blog today and read about a study just published that suggests one should not take in sugars or fructose post-workout, because they stunt growth hormone and interfere with insulin sensitivity. So how to reconcile Dr. A’s recommendation to have carbs with protein post-workout with these findings? I assume the maltodextrin in my shake will act similarly to fruit–and what about all the people grabbing “recovery shakes” with fruit at their gym juice bars? Would love your guidance!
Great Post! Confirming a lot of the simple things that work. I think a lot of athletes forget about the simple stuff and don’t focus on it as much as they should.
Your site is a “sure don’t miss” every time you post. So much good information, and guidance. So when you bring someone to my computer screen, I pay attention. I look forward to making my knowledge base as broad and deep as I can to get the best payoff in the gym and on the field to get strong and stay healthy.
Yes, his five tips are going in my gym book. Beta Alanine I never heard of and hadn’t heard/read anything authoritative about the efficacy of creatine.
Thanks Coach
i could not hear properly what #3 supplement was. Beta something??
Could you please tell me what it was?
Great tips. Nothing new or ground-breaking, if you’re a hardcore athlete, you’ve heard these before. You just have to do them and stay consistent. Thanks for the video Nick.

Tip #3 is Beta-alanine.

The video looks interesting and very helpful. I’ve read some of Dr. Antonio’s write ups and he is such a good man. Thanks for sharing this great video
