Every now and again I will come across something in the media on sports nutrition and feel while bits and pieces are good, it does not portray an overall very accurate picture for the reader. (Such was the case for Sports Illustrated’s recent article entitled, “The New Training Table”.) For this article, and all the articles that have not met my expectations, here is my rebuttal.

Instead of my usual approach (text), I would like to share a video with you which does a great job representing the key components of sports nutrition : it is evidence base and the goals are improved athletic performance and the overall health of the athlete. This video is from Sports Dietetics-USA, a sub unit of SCAN (Sports, Cardiovascular and Wellness Nutrition practice group of the American Dietetic Association) entitled Sports Nutrition: Who Delivers? It could also be called “The New Training Table”.

When I got a call from the Make-A-Wish Foundation saying that they had a young man who wanted to hang out with a pro surfer, I had a full range of emotions. I was honored, but at the same time I was incredibly nervous because I knew I would be receiving a dose of reality. All too often as surfers, we live in this self-absorbed bubble where we are continually in pursuit of the next wave or whatever is going to make us happy. Let’s face it — we all use surfing in some way to escape the reality of life. But at the same time, isn’t that one of the greatest things about surfing? It has a way of making you forget about everything that’s happening around you, and it allows you to think about the present moment. When I accepted the offer to hang with this young man, Robin Pettit, I knew exactly what I needed to do. I needed to give Robin a day where he could forget about everything and become a pro surfer if only for a few hours.
