My question: who the hell is the team nutritionist, and what is he getting paid to do exactly?
When I worked in the fitness business, I always knew what my clients were eating, they had meal plans, and I monitored their weight from week to week. Given Tyreke couldn't work on his conditioning for a while, wouldn't it make sense for the team nutritionist to focus on his diet?
And if not, and the team wants to give players more freedom, then make damn sure they know why it's important to eat healthy foods. This wasn't anyone in the organization stepping in to help out, it was his mom. I understand mom helping with the psychological part of it, but it's the teams responsibility to be aware of the nutritional aspect.
If Tyreke can't practice frequently, and can't work on his conditioning because of his foot, and Westy is publicly admitting Tyreke isn't in great shape, does fastfood sound like a good idea for keeping weight down? Obviously not. So, was Tyreke on a nutritional program which he ignored, or is there just no supervision or education from the teams nutritionist?
