Opening Address

December 1, 2018

Gentlemen, you have made it a quarter way through the season. As the games pile up and you can barely remember what city you are in, it is more important than ever to take care of your body. Proper nutrition and sleep were some of Grant Hill’s keys to long term success in the NBA.

Refresh your memory with the Nutrition slides from RTP and the Golden Nutrition Rules to keep you at your best. We look forward to talking more about these when we see you on the road.

Best of luck guys!
