NUTRITION IS AN IMPORTANT PARAMETER IN ALL ENDURANCE SPORTS. Good nutrition helps regulate body weight – the power-to-weight ratio is important in endurance sports – but also assists in recuperating rapidly after exercise, as well as optimizing energy efficiency and preventing deficiencies in nutrients.

NUTRITION IS A KEY PART OF ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE.

Success starts on the plate, EATING WELL IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS!

If we want to succeed, we have to respect our body and provide it with fuel. By eating a good, balanced diet, our bodies will respond, and we have a better chance of achieving our goals. EATING WELL IS A PLEASURE!

NUTRITION HOLDS A PLACE OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE IN OUR FIELD OF PROFESSIONAL CYCLING. Our choice of food is essential, both for energy, as well as for nutrition, resistance, and staying healthy – which is indispensable for peak performance.

To me NUTRITION IS VERY IMPORTANT. To perform my best, I need to put the right fuel into my body! It’s like if you have the best car in the world, but put the wrong fuel in it, it’s not going to go very far. It’s the same principle in the body of an athlete.

Dear reader, My name is Tomas Berdych. I am aprofessional tennis player, ranked in the Top 10 for many years. Many aspects of a professional life need special attention. Diet is one of them. It is important to get carbohydrates and proteins in the right amounts to be able to perform when needed – but you also have to be aware when to eat what. ‘Recipes for Champions’ will help you put together the right meals at the right time. ENJOY YOUR FOOD AS MUCH AS I DO!

FOOD MAKES THE DIFFERENCE! GOOD FOOD, GOOD LIFE.

FUELING WITH THE BEST FOODS provided the strength and endurance to block my opponents throughout the entire game.

FOR ME AND MY SPORT, GOOD NUTRITION MUST BE HEALTHY, DIVERSE, AND SEASONAL, BUT, MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT MUST BE AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE… Cook and eat, while acknowledging the benefits of each food.

I always followed A CLEAN AND BALANCED DIET to provide the energy needed to stay fit, play at a top level, and train well.

WATER AND ORGANIC FOODS, A PERFECT COMBINATION! I am very careful with my food intake. It’s essential for an athlete.

Can you perform in a sport without giving the body the nutrients necessary for regeneration? Impossible! In cross-country skiing, a large amount of energy is expended, due to the nature of the discipline and its harsh conditions. GOOD NUTRITION IS VITAL!
