Team sport nutrition, half-time refueling strategies and pre-season vs in-season fueling with Marc Bubbs (Performance Nutrition Lead at Men's Canada Basketball)

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Performance Nutrition Lead at Men's Canada Basketball, Marc Bubbs. Its been a while since I had a nutritionist on the podcast and Marc and I have been speaking a while about making this happen so it was great to finally get him on. With the basketball World Cup on the horizon and his new book having just come out, there was plenty to talk about. It seems that the connection between strength and conditioning and nutrition is stronger and stronger which is great to see and this was definitely echoed again in this episode.
