Jan Prinzhausen: the nutritionist from Jena/gGer, works very succesfully with athletes in different disciplines. The author of several books, which are mainly dealing with nutrition for performance in sports and top-sports. How successful the nutrition strategy of Jan Prinzhausen and the practiable results are we can see in the performances of Yvonne van Vlerken and Thomas J. Vonach. Yvonne started working with this method shortly before Challenge Roth ´07 with the best ever rookie-performance in an „ironman-distance“-Triathlon. 2008 Yvonne broke the 14 year old world record by Paula Newby- Fraser in 8:45:48, also in Roth/Ger. She was 4kg lighter and kept the same power she already had before on the bike. Thomas J. Vonach posted 4 Top10-results at Ironman Races and finished the Ironman Hawaii 6times in the Top 100. The perfect tuning of the right supplements and loading strategies for race-week were developed together with Yvonne and Thomas over years.
Jan Prinzhausen stands in close collaboration with the Olympic Centre in Thüringen/Ger, the German Alpine- Ski Federation and the German Cycling Federation. |

Dr. Shelley Overbeek
Shelley is my lung-physian. She is very important to me as I am suffering from severe lung-asthma and already had to get over 4 pneumonias in the last 6 years. Thanks to her I´m still capable of following my dreams and improve my performance nearly as good as I could do if my lungs were in full health. She gives me advice for the races and recommendations how to handle the different climates and air-quality. Shelley is the official MD for all the Dutch athletes that go to the Olympics. She knows everything about the functions and problems of lungs in sports and therefore is one of the greatest specialists we have for that in the Netherlands.
As an athlete you want to perform on your best, with help from people like Shelley you know your having the best support that you can have. Thanks Shelley!! |
