Founding partner Rob Walters, who is also a SafeSport Certified field hockey coach at Pawling NY High School, said, “We at Plus Foods Minus Foods are very excited to partner with USA Field Hockey in offering our nutritional coaching to field hockey athletes nationwide.”
Walters continued, “Functional Nutrition is a new way of looking at training, nutritional intake and lifestyle that uniquely treats the athlete as an individual and works with their needs to help them improve their health and performance. Plus Foods Minus Foods works within the principles of Functional Nutrition, but with an individualized perspective which those elements rely on for the athlete’s success. The program focuses on both improving the mind and body by adding Plus Foods for athlete refueling while reducing the Minus Foods.”
“If the athletes choose to go for a more personalized counseling program, we act as nutrition detectives to dig deep into an athlete’s nutrition, training, history and lifestyle to help them get where they want to be as an athlete. After our full analysis, we look to guide them to reach their goals with an ideal nutrition plan. We strive to reduce hidden and visible inflammation to help athletes stay at their peak performance.”

In addition to coaching field hockey, he coaches lacrosse and track at Pawling. He has worked with more than 1,000 athletes with his positive approach coaching method and has included nutritional counseling as part of his success.
