Hi my name is Josh Lombardo, and I am doing my Senior Project with Ethan Tecson, and we will be working with our strength and condition coaches. This project aims to broaden our knowledge of nutrition and staying healthy. In addition to helping coach Lew and coach Devin build/plan a refuel station for our athletic community. Ethan and I are staying within our bubble working with athletics, we receive a lot from the athletic community here at Hawken, and with the refuel station, we want to give back as much as we can. We will be staying on campus for the project that way we are close to our mentors, with the possibility of off-campus days. The main questions that we want to answer are, What does teen nutrition look like? Specifically with athletes? How can we implement that nutrition into everyday life for athletes?

These next two blog posts are going to be a little shorter then the others, because we are getting to the final steps of our projects. Therefore we do not have a lot to write about other then what we are working on.  However, today we got one last order of Biosteel in and this time it was electrolytes.m. A very similar drink to Gatorade but in our opinion it tasted a tad bit better. There were 5 flavors blue raspberry, peach mango, white freeze, mixed berry, rainbow twist. The best flavor in my opinion was the white freeze, and the worst being the peach mango. In conclusion, they were very good drinks and seemed to have a better effect then Gatorade.

We want to start with a test run and then use that data to help us argue the importance of this station!

Final Reflection

 The reason that Ethan and I were inspired to persur this project was because we wanted to give back to the athletic department at Hawken. Athletics have been a huge part of our life at Hawken and as graduating seniors we wanted to find a way to give back while still helping the future generation to succeed. As we began this project our objective was to build a physical refuel station, but as we started our project it became clear that we would not have the time and materials to do so. So our focuses for the three weeks really went into learning about nutrition, interviewing hogs hills and universities, and laying out the logistics of the station so that someone can one day build it. Put mentors did a great job of making sure we know what we need to helped us get in contact with the right people, and made sure that we were asking the right questions. Ethan and I were very excited and enthusiastic to learn about this topic and begin the process of making a field station for Hawken. ...
