The Team Behind the Triumph, Sponsored by Gatorade Performance Partner

Sports nutrition plays an instrumental role in performance, recovery, and sustainability, but it’s just one piece of the puzzle. Collaboration among performance teams is crucial to ensuring athletes and clients are able to prepare, perform, and recover at their best.

In addition to the discussion, our expert panel will share case studies from their work together, demonstrating how these partnerships can better identify athletes at risk and holistically serve athletes. Together, practitioners are stronger. Learn how to optimize the team behind the triumph.

In this session, viewers will hear from a sports dietitian, strength coach, and athletic trainer as they share advice and best practices around key moments of collaboration, handling conflict, advocating for collaboration, and more.
