Allied Strength Athlete Sam Groleau Named Winter Sport All-Star

Posted on March 15, 2019March 15, 2019 by alliedstrength

Congratulations to Allied Strength Athlete Sam Groleau for being named Winter Sport All-Star by the Gloucester Times Sports Team. Sam has worked hard this winter to get stronger and keep his shoulders healthy during a tough swim season. Here is what the GDT had to say about him:

“The sophomore was a standout in both the 100 breaststroke and 100 backstroke, winning the NEC and earning first team All Conference status for his work in the former. Groleau competed in both events at the North Sectional Meet, scoring Gloucester’s lone point in the backstroke and earning a trip to the Division 1 State Meet, where he finished 16th.”

Sam has a bright swim career in front of him. He is already back at Allied Strength to prepare for next season.

Allied Strength athlete Mia Cromwell was named Winter Sport All-Star by the Gloucester Times Sports Team for her achievements in track & field:

Mia Cromwell, Manchester Essex track and field: The junior is the Manchester Essex program record holder in the 1,000m, and she broke her own record twice this season en route to All League honors. Cromwell won the CAL in the event and finished second at the Division 5 State Meet before turning in a top-15 finish in the event at the All-State Meet. She set a new program record in the 1,000m at both the Division 5 and All State meets.

Well deserved recognition for her achievements! She has been consistently working hard in the gym to get faster and stronger. Glad to see it is paying off!

Easy and Effective Sports Nutrition Strategies for Performance and Recovery Presentation

Posted on December 19, 2018February 26, 2019 by alliedstrength

Thanks for taking the time to check out this 35-minute sports nutrition seminar. It will be incredibly valuable for athletes, parents and coaches. In it I cover the three most critical aspects of sports nutrition:

Hydration
Quick and Effective Breakfast Options
Pre Event/Game/Practice Meals and Snacks

Without proper nutrition, athletes will see a drop-off in performance (especially at the end of games and throughout the season) and recovery (their ability to fully recover before the next practice or game). If you would like to follow along with the lecture, I have attached the PDF of the slides for download. If you have any questions or would like to get in contact with me, please do so here.
