Fitness and Nutrition

Back9Performance will manage the students’ athletic development.  Every student will complete a functional movement screen to properly assess and identify his or her specific physical abilities and limitations.  Based on this assessment, students will be given personalized corrective exercise and conditioning plans to help them reach their athletic potential. 

To ensure proper nutritional requirements for peak performance, students will receive a meal plan from sports dietician Amy Goodson MS, RD, CSSD, LD.  Proper nutrition will aid students in increasing their muscular strength, improving body composition, and enhancing mental acuity and alertness.

PGA TOUR and LPGA tour players Rory Sabbatini, Jason Day, Jason Bohn, Michael Allen, Tim Petrovic, JJ Henry, Stephanie Louden, and many more currently utilize Back9Performance services.  In addition to the previously mentioned players, Amy Goodson serves as the sports dietitian for Hunter Mahan, TCU athletics, and the Texas Rangers baseball club.  For residential students, breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be prepared by Fitness Fare.  In collaboration with Amy, Chef Eric Tonips will prepare meals for the students that improve health and performance.
