I decided I wanted to become a sport psychologist when I realized how much nutrition plays into the physical and mental health of an athlete. It’s true when they say that “baseball is 80% mental and 20% physical.” Giving the body the nutrients it needs to compete at a high level can drive someone’s career from being good to great. I have learned so much just in the nutrition lab alone. Learning how to cook my own food, what ingredients are in food and the time management needed to put into a healthy lifestyle has been something that has not only benefited me personally, but will be something I will take with me in my career. Playing baseball is my passion and because of BenU I have found my other passion and my future career.
