What are the best protein sources for athletes?
Everybody wants more protein, but I personally hate the core power protein drinks and stuff. There's definitely cleaner protein sources for sure. Not slamming you guys, sorry. But it's the truth, right? Sorry. Oops. I don't like those. Yeah, she doesn't like this. She can have a preference, damn it. A lot of people think the less they eat, the more fat they'll lose and stuff, but that's not the case. Yeah, their body's actually eating away the muscle and keeping the fat. Right. Now they're skinny fat. You don't want to see that your body's eating all the protein to use for energy. You want it eating the carbs and the fat.
This one luck will let the pain inspire me. I put my all in everything I'm doing. Up until it's done, I'm me for the entirety. I'm putting in overtime. I be working. Just know I'm a gopher, man, because I earned it. They watching. I know it's time. I confirmed it. The whole society determined. What's up, everybody? Welcome back to another episode of The Determined Society. If today is your first day listening or watching on YouTube, please don't forget to hit the subscribe button, share the show with someone you know that needs to hear this conversation about high-performance athletes and what they need to do to get to the next level of their sport. Today I have with me a very special guest while I'm here live at the Omni Performance Institute, my friend, G. It is Giovanna Giancola. Welcome to the show. Yes.
Thank you. It's been forever. It's been a while. It's been a while. It's been a while since I've actually filmed a show here. And what we thought was like, well, why don't we do it inside the performance center? It is a little more quiet, but you know, you guys are building something great here. So I wanted to highlight it. Oh, thank you. Yeah. It's still hot in here though. It's still, it's a little warm. Oh, but it's okay. Don't worry. I'm just messing with you. I have an AC there.
How can athletes avoid being 'skinny fat'?
No, no, no. I can do a sauna. It's okay. It's fine. I have more weight to lose. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So look, everything looks great. It's good to see you. Um, walk, walk the audience through that doesn't know about the performance Institute, just not here in this building, but also the gym next door. Like walk everybody through what, what's going on here at the Omni. Okay, well, we had a vision for the entire complex, actually, and we wanted to be a whole wellness village. And we thought the first step would be to open up a fitness center. So right now we have some of the best equipment and the most equipment in all of southwest Florida. And we're here to not only help you age better, but also help high school athletes, grade school athletes work and hopefully move on to get scholarships or play professional. I just found that. Three people that attend the classes here got selected to Division I schools on scholarships.
Let's talk about that real quick. There's one girl got accepted into the University of Maryland. That's pretty cool. And then another one is becoming a Gator, and they're all on full scholarships. Wow. What sports? Softball, and I'm not sure of the others. I just found this out. Is the Gator the softball? No. Maryland and the other, it's another big top 10 school. That's so awesome. So it's really nice to see that our hard work and, of course, theirs is paying off. Sure. It's important. Training specific athletes is so important. And the other thing that you touched on that I think is super important to highlight in everybody in Southwest Florida, because we do live in a slower down area, is to age better. I always find that when you're hydrated and you put good things in your body and you work your body, you almost look five to 10 years younger.
Yes. Yes. And then the equipment that we have here, I think, is great because, I mean, I'm only 35, but my bones crack and I walk around. So I actually use the equipment here and I feel better. I do. Otherwise, I can't sleep on my side or anything, but a lot of this stuff really helps and not only makes you feel better, but it correlates with your fitness goals.
