About Sports Nutritionist, Dawn Weatherwax:
What you eat and drink can have great impact on your sports performance! I know. I've made it my business to know. I've been a professional in the sports nutrition field for more than a decade. But, my love of the game, all games, actually goes much, much farther back."
Growing up, it seemed to me that the whole state of Nebraska was focused on football. People drove hours to see the Cornhuskers play. Neighbors who moved out-of-state flew back to town for games. On game weekends my house was a sea of red and white clothing as my entire family gathered to listen to the game on the radio. I was hooked! My interest in sports grew, exponentially, from there.
By high school I'd decided to become an athletic trainer. In college, with the encouragement of a mentor (an athletic trainer), I combined my passion for sports with an interest in nutrition. I decided to major in "sports" nutrition, with an emphasis in athletic training.
Seeking the best education possible in both fields, I headed off to Arizona State University, a Division I College. As a Student Athletic Trainer there, I had opportunity to work with a wide variety of athletes, in a wide variety of sports. Very soon into my studies, I saw firsthand the role nutrition can play in enhancing athletic performance.
