Passionate About Inspiring Others

Hello, my name is Gary Collier; born and raised in Southern California six generations. I live in the San Bernardino Mountains where I moved in 2006. About 15 years ago my daughter was born and I had the unique privilege and opportunity to raise her and my 2 sons. It wasn't always easy, but rewarding.

ABOUT

ME

An educator by profession, a skilled builder by trade, seasoned coach by passion, and a very proud father. I have 3 children, but my daughter is the youngest. As a good parent, I wanted to make sure that she had everything that she needed to be successful in life. A good education, friends, and oh yeah, "good nutrition" that was valuable and beneficial, but I didn't know any of that when she was young.

When she was just starting out in sports, it was important my daughter was getting the appropriate nutrition needed to grow and develop. Since she was in gymnastics, dance, and other physical activities, it would be exciting for her to play soccer, likes I did. It could be a family tradition.

So, I started coaching my daughter's soccer teams year after year, after year...

Then one day, I decided: “there's got to be more that she can do to be successful on the field”. After much research and coursework, we discovered that nutrition was not only eating well, but it was much more than that.

There were many advertisements that boasted getting the edge on competition, but most were gimmicks and sales of items that were not beneficial, even harmful according to research.

SO BEGAN MY RESEARCH...

I am an educational specialist by state certification, post-graduate level education and very familiar with how research works. So, I learned from the best.

I began listening and studying under experts in the field of sports nutrition and athlete training that focused on sensible nutrition and balanced health training. Experts such as Scott Baptie, MSc., Sports Nutritionist and Abbey Courtenay, Registered Nutritionist and Dietitian.

Now, I was able to provide expert knowledge to my daughter; to train, compete, and recover with fewer mistakes.

Continuing in competitive sports, she entered into Middle School and played: soccer, volleyball, track and field, cross-country, and excelled at all of those sports. She brought home banners and medals. On her Club teams, she had taken first place in her division, scoring the final goals winner 2 Showcase Tournament...

Unlocking all that guessing, into achieving excellence and understanding the steps to overcome obstacles and gains.

Entering 9th grade as a 3-sport Varsity athlete, she brought home a medal from the State Cross-Country Championship 2019. So, with the right podcasts, and going back to school to obtain a Sports & Exercise Nutrition Education, we decided to share what we found with you and your Youth Athlete.

Let's take a journey together.
