"As an up and coming Sport Physiologist/Sport Scientist, I often provide evidence-based and data-driven training regimens to optimize recovery and adaptation for high-level athletes. More often than not, I am asked to provide nutrition recommendations to complement my athletes' training regimens. With the Sport Nutrition Graduate Certificate, I will be able to provide better recommendations for my athletes, who compete in weight classes, relative to the training that will be prescribed."
"More than ever, professional and college-level sports organizations are acknowledging the importance of exposing their athletes to more nutrition conscious lifestyles. If you are interested in integrating nutrition with athletes and sports enthusiasts then the Sport Nutrition Certificate is just for you."
