Hey everyone!
Name's Tom and I recently graduated from the University of Illinois with a bachelors in Food Science, concentration in dietetics. I have been playing wheelchair basketball for the last 11 years of my life and have also gotten to try a multitude of other sports. I am highly interested in the nutritional side of sports, especially for the disabled athlete. A quick google search will let you know that there isn't much out there for us specifically! This blog aims to create that information and hopefully back it up with scientific findings and personal experience. Feel free to ask questions, post comments, and email me.
I am going to be playing wheelchair basketball semi-professionally in Milan, Italy this Sept to May. I am extremely excited for this opportunity and hope to further my knowledge of food and nutrition in a land where food thrives! Us internationally skilled athletes have to struggle with eating on the road so I hope to gain experience in eating on the road in other countries.
So once again, thank you for checking me out and I hope you use my blog to fuel your athletic goals!
-Tom
got in too Tom; way-to-go mate!
