Your client is a semi-professional Men’s Hockey/Baseball/Football Coach and he wants you to assist with developing a nutritional plan for his team. Your report/project should include:1) At least 5 ways that proper nutrition can boost athletic performance.

Ask yourself, “Why does this boost performance?”2) At least 3 recommendations for the team concerning pre-game meals. What are some guidelines that they should follow during pre-game nutrition? Again, be sure to support your selection. Ask yourself, “Why did I select this as a recommendation?”A short one paragraph summary.
