“Anthony has been a huge help with my professional growth. He helped my program so much by giving me the tools I needed to assess my program’s weaknesses and strengths. He also helped me grow as a professional with advice for navigating working with administration, coaches, and co-workers. He has been an invaluable asset to my program and myself!”
Rachel Robbins, Director of Sports Nutrition at Louisiana Tech University
“ I contacted Anthony my first year as a sports RD. Being the director of a Division I sports nutrition program, I had many questions about running a fueling station for over 300 athletes. Tony helped me with all my questions, followed up regularly and was very supportive throughout the process. If you’re a sports dietitian and in need of some guidance to run your program smoothly and effectively, contact Tony as he can share his insight and experience in helping you improve your program.”
Tania Menachegani Khachatourians, M.S., RD, Director of Sports Nutrition at CSUN
“This is a well thought out and practical approach for developing and improving sports nutrition programs. It is easy to get lost in the day to day operations and this model helps to stay focused on the measurable outcomes we are seeking to achieve. It is also helpful to see it all in an easy to understand format and how all the moving parts are connected. Thank you for providing a valuable resource that is much needed in sports dietetics!”
Stephanie West, Sports RD, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga
“As a sports dietitian who has also worked with various universities, I have to applaud you for this incredible share. To have had this when I started out would have been such an asset. This resource is true quality and worth the look for any RDs who are starting in sports nutrition! Cheers to you!”
