I think it is just the base needs covered. Nothing exotic. It’s a perfect world scenario. Not financially feasible for all. I think most people who have a great deal of experience in athletic prep would agree that you need to do what is needed to steepen the recovery curve. I think any coach who doesn’t advise his athletes to use recovery drinks(creatine, glutamine, whey, carb polymer) and anti-oxidants, is doing his athletes a disservice. ZMA has given 80% of my athletes deeper sleep. I have trained athletes for 20 yrs and have helped produce hundreds of scholarship athletes in a variety of sports. Not tooting my own horn, but I feel it is just proper nutritional advice.
