Welcome back to the Flex Diet Podcast. I’m Dr. Mike T Nelson, and today I’ve got a great conversation lined up with Coach Troy Beauregard from Canada. We dig into one of my favorite rabbit holes: performance tracking for athletes. We cover why it’s so important to keep tabs on what’s happening in the gym and how you don’t need super-fancy gear to start collecting meaningful data. Of course, we also geek out on the fun toys, from simple tools to cutting-edge tech and even some AI applications that are creeping into sports science. Troy shares insights on hockey-specific acceleration testing, what load monitoring looks like in basketball, and how recovery programs can use force plates and other equipment to really dial things in. The big theme? How modern technology can help athletes perform better and recover smarter—without frying their nervous system in the process. If you’re into training, tech, and finding smarter ways to help athletes (or yourself) adapt and recover, you’re going to love this one.
