Life Lessons from Cross Country
|
Cross-country is a sport that teaches many life lessons that our current culture does not promote or fails to emphasize. These traits not only will help athletes perform better, but they will make their lives better, long after they have crossed the finish line for the last time.

The Athlete’s Kitchen Elite vs Recreational Athletes: How to Fuel?

Elite athletes may hesitate to join studies because they/their coaches don’t want to disrupt (or share) their winning fueling and training practices. In comparison, highly trained and/or recreational athletes are often eager to join nutrition studies. They want to learn tactics that will get them to the next level of performance.
